It doesn’t help that the local sheriff seems unwilling to be helpful. In fact, the only person in Wicker that seems interested in finding the murderer is the guy who owns and runs the local bar. At least Thane Bostick doesn’t tell her to leave five seconds after she introduces herself. Thane is smart and sexy in ways that defy explanation. But Belle isn’t in Wicker to find a man. She’s here to choose. Homicide, Suicide, or Death by Misadventure. Cat’s Cradle Natalie Arrington is just a painter. That’s it. She’s looking for pretty scenery to put on cards and canvases so she can sell them to tourists and make money.

It wasn’t like Natalie had intended to be in Wicker. But it seems that once you’re there, you don’t ever leave. Fortunately for Natalie, the local blacksmith doesn’t seem inclined to let the sheriff bully her around. Whoever heard of a blacksmith in this day and age anyway?

But Hardison is too fascinating to leave alone. The man isn’t an average human, but he’s not a cougar shifter either. He’s something else and Spencer cannot imagine how that will ever fit into her life in Wicker. Cats and Kittens Franny Ikenburger is sick and tired of being called the silliest girl in Wicker.

Sometimes the love and support of one man can be enough to turn things completely upside down. Cat Scratch Fever Orrin Wilshire is pretty sure he knows exactly who is behind this recent bout of killings in Wicker. He just can’t prove it. Yet. When a state investigator shows up to lend a hand, Orrin doesn’t want anything to do with her. Matilda Harbuck is an outsider. If she sticks around long enough the killer is likely to make her his next victim. But Mattie is no shrinking violet.
