Life feels almost perfect—until a councilman is found dead, and her chai is left at the crime scene.
Now the town’s gossip is brewing hotter than her teapots, and Everly’s new business may not survive the scandal. Worse, the local detective is frustratingly handsome and far too eager to put her under suspicion.
To save her café, her reputation, and maybe her heart, Everly must unravel a murder tangled in secrets and small-town rivalries.
In Charm, tea is sweet, gossip salty, and justice must be served hot.
