Lee McKinney is the business manager of her aunt’s chocolate business TenHuis Chocolade in Warner Pier, Michigan. Lee is a bit skeptical when flashy Aubrey Andrews Armstrong sweeps into town claiming he wants to produce a movie based on a local author’s romance novel. And he wants to film it on location. Most of the locals don’t think the book was that good, so this just fuels Lee’s suspicions of him.

Then Aunt Nettie starts going out with Aubrey. Joe is trying to get Lee to help him redecorate his apartment in the hopes that they will soon marry. Life is getting very confusing.

Lee gets even more suspicious of Aubrey when she stumbles over a dead body. Can Lee unravel the mystery and find out more information about Aubrey without ending up dead?

This was the first book I’ve read by this author. It won’t be the last. I really enjoyed the characters and the setting. I look forward to reading many more escapades with Lee. I highly recommend this book.
