Glue Diligence

Crafting can be murder… especially when the glue gun points to you. After trading courtroom chaos for hot glue and hand lettering, former lawyer Jenna Blake is ready for a fresh start in Harland County, Texas. Her new DIY craft shop is just the creative reboot she and her sister Kimmie need—especially after a year that left them grieving, restless, and completely over big-city life. But small-town quiet? Not so much. When a shady developer drops dead behind their building—strangled with the cord from Jenna's broken glue gun—suspicion lands squarely on her glitter-covered shoulders. Now she's stuck in the middle of a murder investigation, and someone clearly wants to pin the whole mess on her. Enter Josh Bryson: Harland's new DA investigator, Jenna's childhood crush, and the one man she hoped to avoid while rebuilding her life. With help from her tech-savvy sister, a few nosy locals, and an emotional support gnome named Detective Flipper, Jenna's determined to clear her name. But in Harland County, secrets don't stay buried—and the truth is messier than a glitter spill.
