Killer Recipe: Mystery, Murder, Romance

Recipe for romance: Mix together a small-town sheriff, a big city girl, and add a dash of danger It's always been Gina Iovino's dream to have her own restaurant, something upscale and cosmopolitan. When she agreed to run the restaurant and tavern at her best friend's historic inn in Vermont, Gina grossly underestimated just how rural it was. She misses bright lights and a busy social life. The place does have one advantage: hunky bad-boy-turned-law-enforcement-officer, Sheriff Shawn Johnson. But could he ever fall for a woman with so many secrets lurking in her past? Shawn's just as attracted to Gina, but anything between the sheriff and the chef has to go on the back burner while he's battling a local opioid scourge and trying to get re-elected. Besides, how can his small town compete with the big city excitements she's used to? And there's another feeling he can't shake: Gina's hiding something from him. Then Gina's past shows up on her doorstep in the form of a jail bird mafiosi father and her ex-husband wanting to feature her on his cooking show. Is she ready to give up Manhattan for the mountains? When Shawn's potential drug informants turn up dead, does it have anything to do with Gina's illicit family connections? It's a recipe for danger when the lovers wind up in a killer's sights.
