Peppermint Bark & Bite
(2026)(The second book in the Holiday Harbor Mystery series)
A novel by S M Lark
Something sweet is stirring in Holiday Harbor. So is something deadly.
Marisol Alegria is back behind the counter at Corazón de Cacao, crafting magical confections that warm the heart—and sometimes do a little more. But when a new mystery interrupts the town’s holiday cheer, Marisol finds herself once again juggling enchanted chocolate, nosy neighbors, and a case that’s anything but festive.
Her empathic gift is growing, the town is buzzing, and a certain handsome half-fae detective is suddenly spending a lot more time around her shop. As the winter market opens and secrets start to surface, Marisol will have to trust her instincts—and her magic—before things take a turn for the truly chilling.
Peppermint Bark and Bite continues the Holiday Harbor Mysteries, a cozy paranormal series perfect for fans of Juliet Blackwell, Amanda M. Lee, and culinary whodunits with a magical twist.
Return to Holiday Harbor, where the chocolate is enchanted, the gossip is relentless, and murder is always bad for business.
