The Mimosa Bakery Mysteries
A cozy mystery series set in the sun-drenched village of Les Mimosas, on the French Riviera. Best read in order — though each book works as a standalone mystery.

A Tart Affair
"Some recipes are best left undiscovered."
A dead body at the village party. A borrowed cat with strong opinions. And a baker who can't stop asking questions. Wren Harper came to the south of France for a fresh start — a crumbling bakery, a temperamental stone oven, and the recipe cards her late great-aunt left in the drawer that sticks. She didn't come to solve a murder.
Also includes 3 authentic Provençal recipes.
