Layers of Deceit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231234660)

My life used to smell like warm sugar and fresh-baked bread. My biggest worry was perfecting my blueberry scones, not uncovering a criminal conspiracy. But then my sister, Lucy, disappeared.

She left behind a digital breadcrumb trail, a terrifying secret woven through the very fabric of our charming small town. Names I'd known my whole life-the mayor, the sheriff-suddenly looked like monsters. I never wanted to be a hero.

Then Jack appeared. He's all shadows and secrets, a man built for danger, completely unlike me. He promised to help find Lucy, but his presence stirred up a different kind of trouble, a burning connection I couldn't ignore.

Now, my bakery isn't just a shop; it's a war room. Every sweet lie this town has told is crumbling around us, and I'm caught between exposing the truth and keeping the man I'm falling for alive.

They say you can't fight city hall. But they've never met a baker with nothing left to lose. And they've never met Jack.
