A murdered politician. A small town torn between the past and the future. A newlywed baker who can't help poking her nose in a murder mystery that seems off.

It's the start of a new year and Meghan is hoping for change in her personal and emotional life.

She never bargained that change would come in the form of an unexpected visitor to her marital home and the mysterious murder of a popular figure in the small town of Sandy Bay.

Things are further complicated when she discovers that the deceased, a big fan of her desserts, was related to many people in town. In good, bad, and ugly ways!

Meghan is left worried and confused as heated opinions of the events leading to the murder seem to distract everyone from the actual homicide itself.

Was the murder coincidental or a coordinated, sinister undertaking?

Will Meghan learn to live with her unexpected guest or allow her fledgling relationship to hit the rocks?

Will she help or hinder a murder investigation that has her bakery's desserts as the common denominator linking all the key suspects?
