A Victorian B&B, a ghostly mystery, and a dash of mischief—welcome to the Nettles Bed & Breakfast, where the tea is warm, the guests are unexpected, and the spirits refuse to check out.

Nan and Mossy Nettles never expected their golden years to be quite so eventful. When they set out to renovate a charming seaside Victorian into the perfect bed and breakfast, they discover the house comes with more than creaky floorboards and ocean breezes. After a sudden storm passes through, it leaves behind whispered warnings, hidden doors, and a mischievous pixie—all pointing to a century-old mystery waiting to be uncovered.

With their grand opening fast approaching and supernatural disturbances growing stronger, Nan and Mossy must bake, banter, and sleuth their way to the truth. But will their cozy retreat survive its spectral complications, or is the B&B doomed before it ever opens its doors?

Hollyhock and Sticky Buns is the first full-length novel in the Nettles B&B Paracozy Mystery Series—a whimsical paranormal cozy mystery filled with small-town charm, magical realism, and a cast of quirky, lovable characters.
