Someone’s tampered with her chocolates, and the truth they unearth could unravel a town.

Marisol Alegria’s handcrafted bonbons are the centerpiece of Holiday Harbor’s Valentine’s Gala, a night meant to celebrate love, community, and the legendary Founders' Love Letters. But when the gala spirals into chaos and the town’s most cherished artifacts are called into question, Marisol’s magic and her reputation are suddenly under fire.

Now the townspeople want answers. The museum wants damage control. Someone else wants the truth to stay buried. As Marisol digs into a century of secrets, she uncovers a forbidden romance at the heart of the town’s founding and a sabotage that points disturbingly close to home. With a stolen legacy, a rising scandal, and a half-fae detective she’s trying very hard not to kiss, Marisol must decide what she’s willing to risk for the truth.

Ganache and Guile is perfect for fans of Tara Lush and Danielle Garrett. Think Practical Magic meets Only Murders in the Building, with a dash of enchanted chocolate.

Step into Holiday Harbor, where the past is rich, the chocolate is enchanted, and every secret has a cost.
