Mothers, Muffins, and Mischief
(2026)(The tenth book in the Sweetie's Latte Cozy Mystery series)
A Story by Shelley Weiss
Sometimes the biggest mysteries aren't about murder—they're about mothers!
Mother’s Day is supposed to be sweet.
At least, that’s what café owner Lindsay Zimmer is hoping as she caters a Mother’s Day brunch filled with mimosas, homemade desserts, and more opinions than she planned for. But when well-meaning mothers start meddling, tensions rise, a phone goes missing, and a ‘surprise’ wedding toast threatens to turn a lovely celebration into a very public disaster.
With her café’s reputation on the line and emotions running high, Lindsay must navigate hurt feelings, good intentions gone awry, and a ticking clock—all without spoiling the day for anyone involved.
Filled with heartfelt humor, small-town charm, and just the right dash of mischief, Mothers, Muffins, and Mischief is a cozy reminder that love doesn’t need arranging—it just needs room. (This is a short story)
