Killer Recipe: Mystery, Murder, Romance - Paperback

by Jeulia Hesse (Author)

He's the small-town sheriff. She's the chef hiding from her past. The man hunting her is on television every Thursday night.

Gina Iovino traded a Manhattan kitchen and a wreck of a marriage for a fresh start running the restaurant at a Vermont inn. She didn't plan on falling for the local sheriff. But Shawn Johnson has been at her counter every morning for months, and the day he pulled her over for running a red light, something between them caught fire.

Then her ex-husband walks into her tavern.

Jacques Moran is a celebrity chef with a cable show, a gleaming smile, and a violent past only Gina remembers. He says he's in town to film a holiday special. He's lying.

Shawn has problems of his own. Drug overdoses are climbing, his informants keep turning up dead, and his re-election is six months out. When the bodies start landing closer to the inn - and closer to Gina - he realizes Jacques may be the least of what's hunting her.

In a town this small, the most dangerous person at the table is always the one you trust most.
