After a scandalous arrest in San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael has moved
back to her small Southern California hometown to start over as she opens
her Aromatherapy Apothecary shop and reflexology services. A tourist
destination, Oak Creek Valley, seems the perfect place to put the past
behind her, but it seems no one will let her forget. When she finds the man
who threatened to drive her out of business murdered in her shop, Carissa
becomes the primary suspect, especially when her fingerprints are found on
the murder weapon. Despite her father’s position as Oak Creek
Valley’s chief of police, most townspeople assume she’s
guilty.
Refusing to run again, Carissa knows she must prove her innocence to save
her shop and save her father’s career when the investigating detective
turns his focus on her. With suspects acting as slippery as the essential
oils she distills, it’s up to Carissa to apply pressure and sniff out
the truth before it’s too late.
Includes essential oil and reflexology tips.
