Murder, She Sold: Darlington Realty, No. 1

A no-nonsense realtor finds a dead body, a missing father and love with help from a small-town police officer in this charming mystery romance.

Realtor Vivian Bexley left home ten years ago, and she’d happily stay away. But when her father’s theatrics escalate to claiming life-or-death consequences if he doesn’t sell his house in the rolling hills of Darlington, California’s wine country, Vivian can’t help but get sucked back in. Weighed down with an extra-large serving of parental guilt, she begrudgingly books a flight—a quick trip, in and out.

Except when she arrives, there’s a dead body in the foyer, an annoyingly handsome officer on the lawn, and…her father is missing.

Plans derailed, Vivian tries to fix the mess her father left behind, but nothing in Darlington is as it seems—especially not Officer Chris Gomez, the do-gooder whose heated stares make it clear that he can’t possibly be as sweet as he appears.

With threats looming and a plane to catch, Vivian can’t risk her neck—or her heart—to solve every mystery. Can she?
