But peace shatters when Henry unearths a human bone in the backyard.

Sam Spade, the guarded local bookstore owner and semi-retired detective, urges Ruby to let the past lie. But cryptic warnings and dangerous accidents pull her deeper into a decades-old mystery the town would rather forget.

With help from her quirky new neighbors, Ruby uncovers long-buried secrets and finds herself torn between safety, truth, and a spark of romance she never expected.

Welcome to Maple Harbor, which blends mystery, humor, and heart in the captivating first book of the Golden Hours Mystery series.
