Barking up the Wrong Bakery

Some people would kill for coffee…
 Olivia Rickard would kill to keep everything just the way it is. She's got a gorgeous boyfriend who loves her, a supportive sister to lean on, and a dog walking business that's briskly barking away. But just as she's getting comfortable her sister suddenly wants to buy an entire brownstone with her and her boyfriend looks like he's going to pop the question at every opportunity. Changing the status quo has always been disastrous for Olivia and now everything is changing at once…
 What Olivia needs is a distraction and she's found one in stumbling upon Yvette Dunn dead in her coffee foodtruck-drowned in a vat of fresh coffee. Olivia starts out as an unlucky bystander to the crime, but she's forced to dig in deeper when it looks like her sister could be involved in Yvette's death. 
 Olivia is running out of time in regards to the mystery, the mortgage, and the marriage. She's going to have to solve all three problems-and quick-or face a future most foul.

Till Death do us Bark

Something borrowed, something blue, Olivia's a bridezilla, and Andrew's pretty scared too…
 Olivia is on the warpath of wedding planning. She's ticking off her tasks rapid fire: flowers, food, and fireworks; all are checked off just in time for Andrew to get hit writing a big check of his own. He's beginning to get suspicious of her motives, since his blushing bride has gone from dragging her feet on a proposal, to suddenly running down the aisle. 
 Olivia doesn't want to admit that she's trying to get hitched before her cold feet get the best of her. Instead she leans heavily on her super strict wedding planner, Lacy McBride, to keep her eye on the prize. But when Olivia stumbles upon Lacy dead in the middle of a mock reception table, cake fork in hand, she feels her safety net evaporating. 
Now, Olivia must shift her attention from planning the event to solving the crime to clear her name. Not because she's a suspect, but because of "The Bride's Curse"-an old jinx that dooms any bride not marrying for love, and their planner! No wedding planner in Lexingburg will work with Olivia until the crime's origins are clear. However, the deeper she falls into Lacy's mystery the more Olivia sees that wedding planning can be murder...


One Bark and Stormy Prom Night

Prom, Pups, and deadly murders... 
In the wake of her relationship's break, Olivia is beginning to fear that she might grow old with only Goodwin and a pack of dogs by her side. But even the unconditional love of puppies can't shield Olivia from the single most important event in Lexingburg's social calendar: Prom. The roses, romance, and ridiculously priced restaurants seem to be rubbing salt in Olivia's romantic wounds-reminding her at every turn that Andrew is leaving her. 
 While trying to shut the door on the mess of her relationship, Olivia accidentally opens the door to a murder investigation. Olivia's friend, and the owner of a boutique dog food brand has been killed at her warehouse-bludgeoned with a side of beef. Olivia tries to run off her emotions but only stumbles upon the main murder suspect acting suspicious. She sees this as a sign. If she can't solve her romantic problems she can solve the murder of her good friend. 
 Now, Olivia finds herself in an ever more tangled web of lies, secrets, and jealousy both recent and decades old. Who knew that dog food could cause as much drama as a high school dance? But the further Olivia wades into the crime the more she realizes that Prom isn't just the main event of the season-it's motivation for murder…
