Promise in the Proposal (The Inn at Holiday Bay #38)

Christmas may be packed away, but in Holiday Bay, the chaos is just getting started.

Colt’s first case as a newly hired county detective is anything but routine. A shocking murder, a web of buried secrets, and three long-forgotten cold cases left behind by his predecessor collide in ways Colt never saw coming—and solving the present crime may depend on unlocking the past.

While Abby and Lacy pour their energy into a community fundraiser, Abby and Colt juggle blueprints for the home they hope to build together. At the same time, Georgia finds herself struggling with unexpected baby blues, adding one more emotional wrinkle to an already busy season.

And just when Abby thinks life might slow down, Colt and Mackey prepare to ask her a question she won’t be able to refuse.

In Holiday Bay, life, love, and murder have a way of arriving all at once. Cozy, twisty, and filled with heart, this post-Christmas mystery proves that while the holidays may end, the surprises never do.
