"... a heartwarming Christmas mystery about starting over set on the picturesque California coast. A perfect holiday season escape." ~ Amanda Flower, USA Today Bestselling Author, and author of the Appleseed Creek Mystery Series

There's a thief in the small town of Cottage Grove, and Tasha's a suspect. Not exactly the dream she'd had in mind when she moved into her rustic fixer-upper cottage. Marc Shepherd wasn't part of her plans either. The Stetson-wearing contractor moved in next door, kicking up dust and threatening to cut down a beloved pine that shaded Tasha and her dog, Wolfy's, cabin. With Christmas around the bend, and a criminal threatening the community's peace, will Tasha solve the puzzle ... before it's too late?
