    Much Ado about Nauticaling
    Something Fishy This Way Comes
    All That Glitters Isn't Old
    • The bubbly fun of a rom-com meets the irresistible quirkiness of a cozy mystery in this buoyant new rom-cozy set off the coast of Southern California, the perfect getaway for those seeking a break from reality. Unfortunately for boat tour guide Whitney Dagner and her chonky cat Whiskers, it’s also a haven for those looking to escape with murder. When not piloting a glass-bottom boat or selling seashells to support her family shop, Nautically Yours, Whit enjoys her new life on Catalina Island, far removed from her corporate past in Los Angeles. She cherishes her time with her spirited grandmother Goldy, who has her own colorful history. Goldy once had a relationship with a local named Darren, a ruse to hide his true identity from his parents. Now, Darren returns for his mother’s funeral, hoping to heal old wounds. He premieres a documentary about Catalina’s history, but the screening is overshadowed by the discovery of his partner’s dead body the night before. As rumors swirl about the documentary revealing dark secrets of the island’s residents, Whit and her somewhat-ex-boyfriend, a policeman, must uncover the truth and determine how much Goldy knows about the shady dealings tied to Darren’s past.

      All That Glitters Isn't Old
    • "Since returning home from mainland California and finding her groove with the family tourism business, Whitney Dagner's daily routine has become a wonderfully chaotic adventure. She and her nimble kitty, Whiskers, often find themselves at the center of the action on Catalina, from staged treasure hunts to gossipy birdwatchers. But before Whit can get too comfortable in the place where she grew up, a gift shop order leads to a stunning discovery--someone's dead body ... One of Whit's best boat tour clients, Leo Franklin was young and newly engaged when he unceremoniously took his own life. Only it doesn't seem like that's what really happened--not after the suspicious activity displayed by his family's old rivals at the scene of his death. As a bitter, generations-long feud between Leo's kin and the local Ahern clan comes to a head, Whit and her police diver not-so-ex-boyfriend must lead a dangerous investigation into years of scandal and bad blood to figure out who's innocent ... and who's covering a killer's tracks"-- Provided by publisher
