Storm Publishing, 2025

When Dakota Green returns home for her high school reunion, she expects awkward small talk and warm beer – not a dead body on the dance floor. But at the historic Rose Palace, old flames and fresh murders are always in fashion. In Dakota’s small-town of Aubergine, Virginia, family fortunes hide deadly secrets and diamonds aren't always a girl's best friend. Still adjusting to veterinary school, a long-distance relationship with the town's handsome sheriff, and the bombshell revelation of her true parentage, Dakota's hoping for a drama-free weekend. But when former classmate and reality TV star Brett Brinkley drops dead at the Class of 2015’s reunion party, all eyes turn to Dakota’s childhood best friend as the prime suspect. Now Dakota must race against time to catch a killer, uncover the truth about a missing diamond, untangle a web of secrets and somehow decide whether to accept an unexpected inheritance – all before midnight strikes. Between a fake séance, a blackmail scheme, and more suspects than she can count, Dakota's about to learn that some family jewels come at a deadly price. Sharp-witted and charming, An Heiress's Guide to Death and Diamonds is a delightful small-town mystery packed with twists. If you love the humor of Janet Evanovich and Elle Cosimano, it’s time to get hooked on the Dakota Green mystery series.
