Petals and Peril

Somebody is trying to kill Presley Sands's flower shop. Not with a weapon. With a whisper campaign.

First a completed bouquet disappears from the cooler. Next the wholesale supplier says Presley canceled her standing order, though she never made the call. Then comes the fake review, one cruel star from a customer who does not exist.

Wedding season is booming, and Presley cannot afford a single bad week, let alone three strange ones in a row. Petal Pushers is her mother's legacy, and she will not watch it wilt over a run of dirty tricks.

So she does what she does best. She digs. And with Katy, Bella, and one very nosy duck named Topknot, she follows a trail of field dirt straight to a rival with a dream and a very good reason to lie.

A charming cozy mystery short story about small-town secrets, loyal friends, and how far one woman will go for what she loves.
