Love, Lies, and Lattes
(2026)(A book in the Cozy Together for the Holidays series)
A novel by Leona Windwalker
Four people. Different faces. Another unpaid bill.
Detective Jack Mercer and his partner Erin Walsh have been called to investigate a growing string of strange magical dine-and-dash cases. The only thing the suspects have in common is that there are always four of them—and nobody can agree on who they really are.
The latest case brings Jack to The Black Cat Café and its charming owner, Theo Whitaker, a witch who knows far more about magic than Jack does.
Theo may be the key to solving the mystery.
He may also be the man Jack can't stop thinking about.
As the cases become stranger and the magic more dangerous, Jack and Theo find themselves drawn closer together—and closer to a secret someone is desperate to keep hidden.
But sometimes the biggest mystery isn't simply about who committed the crime.
It's also about falling for the one person you never expected.
Genre: Gay Romance
