Last to Know
In Blissford, some are naughty, some are nice, and someone’s covering up a murder.
A friends-to-more romantic holiday mystery.
As Nadine stares down pending unemployment, family drama, and a cold case that pits her against the city’s biggest power players, at least one thing is certain… She and Chase are JUST FRIENDS.
About the Book
All she wants for Christmas . . . is an end to this terrible year.
Silver bells are ringing, but family drama and flaky finances have Nadine Notaro wrung out. The only bright spots this holiday season are her job at the Blissford Historical Society and her cheery, dependable co-worker, Chase Garren—until the City Council cuts their funding. The lost income will be bad enough, but what about Chase? Though quick to remind everyone they’re just friends, she can’t stomach losing him, too.
While packing up the Society’s record collections, Chase and Nadine discover a journalist’s cache of negatives pointing to a decades-old scandal and cover-up. Entanglements with the City’s biggest power players pull their strings, but every clue brings them closer to the truth—and each other—until Nadine finds evidence of a betrayal she never thought possible.
Casting light on the lies may ruin Christmas and their friendship, but it stands to cost them much more.
Because in Blissford, it’s beginning to look a lot like murder.
