A severed leg with no body? Check.
A disturbing lack of coffee? Check.
A murderer bent on revenge and a hot cop using her as bait? Double check.

Larklyn Davis moved to the small picturesque town of Barrow Bay, California, needing a new start on life. She found the perfect cottage house, almost the perfect distance from her ex-husband, and built the perfect stable for her dressage business. But when a severed leg suddenly appears on her front porch, her life takes a turn for the absurd.

As more clues pile up, the killer refuses to leave Lark alone, forcing her to take things into her own hands. One problem: the hottest detective she has ever seen is convinced she is involved. Detective Brecken Wilson looks like he should be in the movies, not glued to Lark’s side, waiting for the other leg to drop. Literally. 

Lark finds out quickly that there’s not enough coffee in the world to deal with this crime plus a hot detective stirring up emotions she hasn’t wanted to feel in years. Add in a persistently annoying murderer and a meddling town with a penchant for matchmaking, and this independent single mom is in for the ride of her life.

Throw in a dashing veterinarian plus a matchmaking town and Lark’s life spins out of control. As clues pile up and all evidence leads back to her barn, Lark gets saddled up to solve another mystery.
