Mira Michaels’ sister has invited her to a Jersey shore bungalow for a long weekend of fun and sun and sand, even fuzzy kitty, Arnold, is along for the trip. But when a body is found under the boardwalk, Mira must learn to work with her famous sister if she wants to solve the crime.

Scottie Ramone has been having second thoughts about a lot lately; her pastry chef job in a five-star restaurant, her looming extravagant wedding (future mom-in-law’s idea) and spending the rest of her life with Jonathan Rathbone. The one thing she has no doubts about are her plans to open a vintage bakery.
When Scottie receives a frantic, late night call from her grandmother all her dreams, second thoughts and a truly delicious banana chiffon cake are put on hold. Much to her fiancé’s chagrin, Scottie packs a bag and heads up to Grandmother Evie’s house in Ripple Creek.
A missing grandmother, a murdered neighbor and a crush from the past are just a few of the surprises waiting for Scottie in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Will she be able to sort out the chaos? Will she make it back in time for her own wedding?
Scottie knows one thing for sure; no amount of flower bouquets or yards of silk and lace will pull her away from Ripple Creek.
