When local business owner Hank Tolleson is found dead beneath the twinkling lights of the town’s Christmas Tree Village, the festive season turns deadly. For Edna Barnes, head of the Christmas Tree Society, it’s personal. Determined not to let the town’s most cherished event—or her reputation—be ruined, Edna and her friends trade tinsel for detective work. But when a snowstorm traps them in the middle of a web of secrets, rivalries, and deceit, Edna learns that even the jolliest town hides a few Scrooges as Twelve Oaks becomes a puzzle wrapped in snow and tied with lies.

book three in my love and romance in italy series:
|
Some streets take you home. Others take you to the place where healing begins…
After a tragic loss, Millie Devonshire travels to Florence with her dear friends Edith and Joy, hoping to find peace among the golden light and cobbled streets of Florence. But what begins as a quiet retreat soon turns into an unexpected adventure when the trio befriends Leesa, a young American waitress with a bruised heart, a secret passion for cooking, and a boss who controls more than just the restaurant. Playing matchmaker for Leesa and the charming chef’s son, Matteo, gives Millie a renewed sense of purpose. As the women stroll through Renaissance piazzas, make Ribollita in a Tuscan cooking class, and share stories beneath the glow of trattoria lights, they find themselves not only soaking in the beauty of Florence—but experience healing for their souls. With laughter, love, and the quiet grace of second chances, The Streets of Florence is a warm, uplifting novel about friendship, finding joy again after loss, and discovering that sometimes the best way forward is one step, one dish, one shared secret at a time.
