Wham, Bam, in a Jam
What was supposed to be a day of morel hunting turns into work for Stormy Morgan and her fiancé, Hunter Ryan, when they accidentally stumble across a body. The victim was a few years behind them in school and almost never left her home.
A severe case of anxiety locked Kayley Shelton away for years, forcing her to give up her dream and leave college before graduation. She locked herself away in an isolated cabin and had almost no outside contact. Yet somebody hunted her in the woods and killed her. Who, though?
Stormy and Hunter are on the case. The more they dig, the weirder the story gets. Kayley had recently joined the local wine drinking group in an effort to chase away her demons, but they don’t feel like suspects. The town loner lived not too far away but he’s hardly the friendly sort so how did they even meet? Even the old couple in those parts barely knew her.
Just who was Kayley Shelton?
Stormy is determined to find answers, but nothing is as it seems. The deeper she digs, the darker the story. It seems Kayley was more than she seemed. Who would want to kill her, though? More importantly, why?
There’s a predator on the loose in Shadow Hills, and Kayley might not be the only victim on the menu. It’s up to Stormy to find answers … if she survives long enough to do it.

Cozy Pairings
Brown Sugar Cinnamon is a warm, bakery-inspired fragrance that wraps you in the comforting sweetness of brown sugar and melted butter, gently spiced with cinnamon. Rich and inviting, this scent evokes the feeling of something freshly baked lingering in the air, soft and golden with just a touch of indulgence. Smooth and well balanced, it brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to any space, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and comforting.
Why we chose this: Stormy Morgan came home to Shadow Hills a failed novelist and discovered she is a witch, her high school boyfriend is the detective on every murder case she keeps accidentally stumbling into, and her family diner is somehow always at the center of everything. From Ouija boards and talking cats to gnome shifters and magical children, the trouble in Shadow Hills runs as deep as its secrets, but the diner is always there, warm and golden and smelling like something delicious. Brown Sugar Cinnamon carries exactly that quality, the scent of a kitchen where the ordinary and the extraordinary have made a comfortable home together, sweet and familiar and alive with the feeling that the most important things in life happen around a table. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a Michigan diner on a winter morning when the coffee is hot, the magic is surfacing, and Stormy is already three steps ahead of everyone except the one person she loves most.
