Sprinkles, Scandals, and Second Chances

Forty years. That's how long Olivia Faulkner has been searching for her little sister.

Now she has a phone number, a name she doesn't recognize, and a woman arriving at the airport who doesn't remember being stolen.

Piper is alive. She goes by Patricia now, with a husband, children, and a whole life built on a lie she never knew she was living. When she arrives in Grand Arbor for a ten-day visit, Olivia pulls out their mother's cherry almond scone recipe and hopes that a shared kitchen can bridge four decades of silence.

But reconnecting with a stranger who shares your blood is harder than any recipe Olivia has ever followed. And when a newcomer to town turns up dead in a rental cottage, Olivia is pulled into an investigation that uncovers something rotten at the heart of Grand Arbor's most trusted institutions.

Now Olivia is torn between the sister she finally found and a killer hiding behind a familiar face. The reunion she waited a lifetime for is slipping through her fingers, and the truth she's chasing may cost her the only thing that matters more than answers: a second chance at family.
