Essentially Sweet Romance

Have you ever had a day that made you want to curl up with coffee and essential oils? Me too, but all I get is a body in the stairwell, and a handsome detective who makes putting a full sentence together an impossibility. Someone is after my beloved essential oils. Or are they after me? The real question is, will I survive long enough to make that detective fall for me?

When city girl Beck Graham finally visits her grandmother in a quiet mountain town, she’s expecting homemade pie and peppermint tea—not a body on the front porch and a town whispering about an old legend. Now, with her grandmother’s mysterious past coming to light under a murder investigation, a war dog at her side, and a disarmingly handsome Navy SEAL neighbor determined to keep her off balance, Beck’s peaceful visit turns into a whirlwind of clues, courage, and chemistry.

She didn’t mean to fall again. But when love and lemon oil collide, anything can happen. After swearing off heartbreak — and Harper Wasden — Sydney Smith is finally getting her life back together. Until the FBI accuses her of murder, and she’s suddenly on the run with a loyal Pitbull and zero answers. Enter Harper: the one man she never got over… and the only one who believes she’s innocent. Now, with danger closing in, old sparks reigniting, and a lemon-scented mystery she can’t untangle, Sydney must decide if trusting him again will save her — or break her heart for good.

The Spearmint Spy is your next laugh out loud cozy rom-com with a delicious enemies-to-lovers arc, forced proximity on a luxury cruise ship, and a loyal protection dog who always knows who to trust.
