About the Book: Old enemies become allies to unravel a deadly mystery.

Mel O'Rourke used to be a cop before a life-changing injury forced her to turn in her badge. Now she leads a relatively peaceful life running a B & B in the quirky mountain town of Pine Cove. That is, until her old frenemy, the charismatic cat burglar Poppy Phillips, shows up, claiming she's been framed for murder. While she’s no saint, Mel knows she’d never kill anyone and sets out to prove Poppy's innocence.

The situation gets complicated, however, when the ruggedly handsome Deputy Sheriff Gregg Marks flirts with Mel, bringing him dangerously close to the criminal she’s hiding. And just when her friendship with café owner Jackson Thibodeaux blossoms into something more, he’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime in New Orleans. Should she encourage him to go, or ask him to stay? Who knew romance could be just as hard to solve as murder?

About the Beverage: “Why Connemara?” Marla says. “Because in ‘Framed’ we meet crass, sassy Grandma O'Rourke and she prefers her whiskey like her poets - Irish and proud of it.. Connemara is a peated Irish whiskey, making it as unusual as Grandma herself. How do I drink it? Neat, because I'm not a savage.”
