All she wants is the truth. Someone else just wants revenge. Daphne Sullivan wants the truth about the mother she never knew and the visions she was told were dangerous—visions that make her suspect her mother was murdered. After her father’s death, Daphne moves to her mother’s old cottage, determined to find the answers he never gave her. In beautiful Rosemary Mountain, she finds the love and community she’s always wanted. Fiona, a feisty herbalist who knew her mother, introduces her to the family gift of second sight. Emerson, the gorgeous guy with eyes only for her, makes Daphne feel like she might be exactly where she belongs. But this town is full of secrets, and someone here is looking for revenge. When strange things start happening at the cottage, Daphne doesn’t know who she can trust—including herself. If she can’t uncover the truth, she’ll face the same fate as her mother. Author’s Note: This is book one in a mystery trilogy. Each book is a complete story with secrets uncovered and a murder solved, but the mystery that begins the adventure—the mystery of what happened to Daphne’s mother—will not be fully solved until the final book. Recommended for those who love reading trilogies, murder mysteries, cozy small towns, quirky characters, closed-door romance, found family, and a touch of the paranormal.
