Blurb

On Turtle Island, gossip can be deadly.

On Turtle Island, everyone knows your business—

and some secrets are worth killing for.

Grace Appleton has always been good at listening. As the owner of A Breath of Fresh Hair, she hears every whisper, confession, and half-truth that floats through her salon. But when a famous author turns up dead at the island bookstore, Grace’s talent for gathering information puts her in serious danger.

What begins as curiosity quickly unravels into a decades-old secret involving a stolen manuscript, a vanished writer, and an island determined to protect its past. As threats escalate and lines blur between friend and suspect, Grace must decide how far she’s willing to go for the truth.

With the help of her childhood best friend Danny—and an entire island watching her every move—Grace races to solve a mystery rooted in betrayal before the killer strikes again.

Author

Fueled by hot tea and an overactive imagination, Savanna writes heartwarming contemporary romance and cozy mysteries set in small towns where everyone knows your name… and your secrets.

Her stories are filled with big love, second chances, unexpected twists, and the quiet magic found on front porches, in corner cafés, and along tree-lined streets. If there’s a hidden past, a long-lost letter, or a mystery waiting to be unraveled, she’s already halfway to the reveal.

When she’s not creating fictional friends (who insist on talking at inconvenient hours), she can be found sipping tea, plotting happy endings, and being supervised by Oliver, her opinionated miniature schnauzer.

Because in her world, love is brave, community is everything, and even the smallest towns hold the biggest stories.
