Blurb

A new queen is crowned. Minutes later, she’s dead.

Local news hasn’t even announced the name of the newly crowned Miss Sunmeadow before they were forced to report her death. All it took was a single sip of a signature drink from Sadie’s food trailer.

A formidable City Hall administrator shuts Sadie’s business down indefinitely. To clear her name, she must go undercover as a pageant chef, swapping her chef’s knife for a magnifying glass.

Standing in her way is Sheriff Hayes—her six-foot-plus ex-boyfriend who is determined to keep her out of his investigation and out of his head. As Sadie peels back the layers of glitter and hairspray, she discovers that behind those perfect smiles lie dark, dirty secrets.

When a second body falls, Sadie realizes that in this competition, the price of the crown isn’t just ambition… and she may be the next one to pay it.
