A year and a half after coming home to Story Island, Eliza has all the ingredients for her second chance at happiness: a beagle, a bookshop, all the blessings of family and friends, and a blossoming future with her beau. But the serenity of her sweet life is spoiled when a celebrity dies at the local crêperie, the apparent victim of an allergic reaction to seafood. The problem? There's no seafood in the triple-berry delight.

Mix a heaping cup of suspicion with a whole can of worms. Fold in a starstruck best friend, a harried boyfriend, and his flaky ex-wife. Broil under the flame of dogged press and angry fans, and you've got a recipe for disaster. Can Eliza turn down the heat and rescue her happy ending—before it burns?
