They burned the heart of Morrow Bay. Now June Calder is done playing defense.
When an overnight blaze guts the Salt Sisters' community greenhouse, it looks like tragedy narrowly avoided. No casualties. Just ash, twisted beams, and a missing rare cutting that never should have been on site.
June sees what others miss. The fire pattern is surgical, the insurance trail runs through a familiar shell company, and the stolen plant ties straight back to the covert operation she walked away from years ago. Someone is sending a message. The network that once used her skills now wants her silenced, and this time they are willing to use her new life as leverage.

June sees what others miss. The fire pattern is surgical, the insurance trail runs through a familiar shell company, and the stolen plant ties straight back to the covert operation she walked away from years ago. Someone is sending a message. The network that once used her skills now wants her silenced, and this time they are willing to use her new life as leverage.
To protect Morrow Bay, June calls in an old handler, a federal ally she almost trusts, and the field partner who once sold out their unit. Together with Theo March and the Salt Sisters, she builds a risky sting around a coastal shipping yard and a greenhouse full of rare plants that double as cover for contraband. Botanical traps, pollen markers, and scent plumes become her weapons.
But the worst betrayal is not offshore. It is in the very office sworn to protect the town.
As the operation spirals into a storm lit showdown in glass and steel, June has one chance to cut out the root of the smuggling ring and expose the architect who put a price on her head. Doing it may cost her the quiet life she has started to believe she deserves.
Ashes in the Greenhouse is Book 4 in the Morrow Bay Mystery series, a first person cozy mystery with rising stakes, slow burn romance, found family, and a sharp botanical twist. It brings June's long game to a hard-earned, emotional payoff while leaving the door open for whatever she chooses next.
