Yesterday was just about the best Saturday ever. It started out kinda sad that our plans to Tahoe were canceled due to the only two highways in to Tahoe had huge mudslides, closing down all lanes. Hubby thought with the sun shining it would be the perfect day to build my raised garden boxes. So he did, and they are done and in the garden right now as we speak! FILLED WITH DIRT! The magic of the sunshine made it possible for my garden boxes to be built in one day! Can you imagine the possibilities? I can’t go back to rainy winter… I CAN’T! I WON’T! It was adorable to watch my baby bassets help their daddy build the boxes. People driving by even slowed down to watch. That was a little creepy…move along people. My baby bassets used the saws, and still have all their cute little fingers. It was a good day! You can see pictures of the garden boxes being built and the finished product on my Pinterest page titled In the Garden by clicking here.

-Staci Troilo, author
Detective Olivia Mast would rather run through gunfire than return to her former Amish community in Unity, Maine, where she killed her abusive husband in self-defense.
Since the community will not pursue justice or answer questions from the police, Olivia begrudgingly dons her old prayer kapp and covertly investigates a murder there while protecting the man she dated as a teen: Isaac Troyer, a potential target. The handsome and quirky cabinet maker falls in love with her once again, unaware that she carries a 9mm under her skirt. After another murder, some deadly pranks and a kidnapping, Olivia realizes she needs Isaac’s help most of all.
When Olivia tells Isaac she is a detective, will he be willing to break Amish rules to help her arrest the killer?
Olivia values one important rule over all others: never let emotions, especially love, get in the way of the job. But as the body count rises and she starts falling for Isaac again, she might just end up breaking her own rule.
