Innocent until proven guilty… or until she falls for the private eye.

Lexy’s life was less ‘living the dream’ and more ‘how do I survive being accused of murder?’ Yeah, no pressure.


Between a nightmare boss who makes her barter for days off, a missing locket that’s basically her soul in jewelry form, and a jam-making side hustle she’s convinced will save her from toiling away as a chambermaid, Lexy’s got her hands full.

Then, at a book fair, Lexy runs into Oliver Beecham—a private eye turned bestselling author and also the guy who shattered her heart years ago—who shows up back in town looking way better than her daydreams ever dared.

The problem? Lexy’s the prime suspect in a murder investigation, and the only person who might help clear her name is the one guy she’s spent years trying to forget.

Dodging suspicion, a snarky receptionist, and undeniable chemistry with Oliver is no easy feat. Lexy’s about to learn that surviving the shift was the easy part. This time, the stakes are life in prison—and maybe, just maybe, the beginning of something unexpectedly sweet.
