Love is brewing in Steeplechase... but so is murder.
For Madison Beans Perkins, Valentine's Day at the Perk & Puzzle Roastery was supposed to be about lattes, love connections, and keeping her eccentric grandmother, Mavis, from accidentally shooting customers with a suction-cup arrow.
But when the town's sleaziest developer, Sterling Vance, drops dead face-first into the pastry case after downing Madison's special Cupid's Arrow espresso, the Love is Brewing speed dating event turns into a crime scene.
Now the local gossip mill has branded Madison the Black Widow of Steeplechase, and the handsome but grumpy Detective Gabe Miller has no choice but to shut down her shop. With her livelihood on the line and a blizzard cutting off the town, Madison has to trade her portafilter for a notepad.
Teamed up with Mavis, who is currently convinced she's a ninja in neon tights, Madison must sift through a list of suspects that includes a scorned florist, a secret wife, and a bodybuilder with a grudge. Can Madison roast the real killer before the trail goes cold, or will this Valentine's Day end with a bitter aftertaste?
