promise of romance. Lovers of paranormal cozies are sure to get on

Flat broke and divorced, intuitive gemologist Shay Myers has changed
since leaving her artsy hometown of coastal Bray Harbor sixteen years
ago. But when she moves back under strange circumstances, old instincts
may be the only key to spilling the tea on a deadly mystery.
Even with her life in ruins in New Mexico, Shay feels uneasy about
settling into the small seaside town where she grew up on California's
Monterey Peninsula and taking over an estate bequeathed to her by
Bridget Early, a woman she had barely known. Her heightened senses--an
empathic gift she's had since childhood--go into overdrive upon touring
Crystals & CuriosiTEAS, Bridget's eclectic tea and psychic shop brimming
with Irish lore and Celtic symbols. They reach a boiling point when Shay
looks up to discover a stranger's body sprawled across the shop's
greenhouse roof . . .
With her new business a crime scene and questions brewing over Bridget's
so-called accidental death, Shay fears she's also inherited the
attention of a killer. The terrifying realization sets her on an
impractical investigation for answers aided by her sister, an elusive
pure-white German Shepherd, a strikingly handsome pub owner who speaks
in a gentle brogue, and a misunderstood young woman with perceptive
talents of her own. As Shay struggles to figure out her true purpose in
Bray Harbor and the powerful connection she has with the tea shop, she
must trust her judgment above all else to identify a ruthless murderer
and save herself from becoming victim number three.
