When Bramblett County, Georgia's number one realtor, Lily Sprayberry, finds her cantankerous older client dead on the kitchen floor, she lands herself smack dab in the middle of a long-running property battle and a one-hundred-year-old rumor. Lily made a promise to sell Myrtle's land, even if Myrtle wasn't alive to sign the papers. But whoever wants that money is determined to keep the property from selling and will do whatever it takes to stop Lily from closing the deal. Including murder. Now that Lily's got the killer's eyes on her, can she keep her promise to her deceased client...or will she wind up another victim in this deal gone dead? ____________________________ Book 2: Decluttered and Dead One friend--two friends--both friends dead. Every time the body count in Bramblett County Georgia rises, so does small town, Southern realtor Lily Sprayberry's popularity. And these days, she's very popular. When a member of her decluttering and staging class winds up dead, Lily takes it personally and sets out to find the killer. But the truth isn't always pretty, and when she discovers a friend from her past may be the murderer, she vows to find out. Now as the body count rises, can Lily figure out who the killer is before she and the rest of her life-long friends are added to the list? ____________________________ Book 3: Signed, Sealed and Dead Small town folk don't always take care of their own. As Bramblett County, Georgia realtor Lily Sprayberry preps for the annual community yard sale fundraiser, she discovers the body of the newly hired lacrosse coach lying in the high school gym. At first, all signs point to natural causes, but when Lily finds an empty syringe lying under the bleachers, the coroner decides the coach was murdered. Lily learns the coach wasn't liked by the lacrosse parents, and when word gets out about his murder, the state athletic association suspends the program entirely. When a few of the lacrosse moms decide to take matters into their own hands, they threaten someone close to Lily--her county sheriff boyfriend and his reelection status-by bullying Lily. And soon, Lily's had enough. As she searches for answers, she's dragged deeper into an angry mob of high school sports parents all seeking revenge and gunning for their kids to sign with the most elite schools offering the best scholarships. And some of them are willing to do whatever it takes, including murder. When the killer figures out Lily is close to cracking the case, things take a dangerous turn, and Lily's life is on the line. Can she save herself, or will she be the next victim in Bramblett County? ____________________________ If you like charming Southern cozy mysteries, you'll love the Lily Sprayberry series.

Book excerpt: Savannah Martin has always been a good girl, doing what was expected and fully expecting life to fall into place in its turn. But when her perfect husband turns out to be a lying, cheating slimeball—and bad in bed to boot—Savannah kicks the jerk to the curb and embarks on life on her own terms. With a new apartment, a new career, and a brand new outlook on life, she’s all set to take the world by storm. If only the world would stop throwing her curveballs... Everyone has warned new-minted realtor Savannah Martin that real estate is a cutthroat business. But Savannah doesn’t think she’s supposed to take the warning literally ... until an early morning phone call sends her to an empty house on the ‘bad’ side of town, where she finds herself standing over the butchered body of a competitor, face to face with the boy her mother always warned her about. Rafe Collier is six feet three inches of testosterone and trouble; tall, dark, and dangerous, with a murky past and no future—not the kind of guy a perfect Southern Belle should want to tangle with. In any way. But wherever Savannah turns, there he is, and making no bones about what he wants from her. Now Savannah must figure out who killed real estate queen Brenda Puckett, make a success of her new career, and avoid getting killed—or kissed—by Rafe, all before the money in her savings account runs out and she has to go back to selling make-up at the mall.

Book excerpt: April 18, 1906 - A huge earthquake rocks San Francisco and Templeton Morehouse fears her husband is lost forever. A powerful and compelling story from USA Today bestselling author Bette Lee Crosby Chances were a million to one that a girl born and raised in Philadelphia would encounter a stranger from California on the trolley and fall madly in love, but that's what happened. Templeton was not only taken with John Morehouse, but also with his tales of life in San Francisco. As an aspiring fashion designer, the dazzle of a city called the Paris of the West, with its towering department stores and European couture was too much to resist. Despite her family's objections, she and John are married and, on their way back to California, before the month is out. To ease the heartbreak of such a move, Templeton promises her family that they will return for a visit every summer. She fully intends to keep that promise, but as her fashions gain popularity, the business grows increasingly more demanding. The trips back to Philadelphia become less frequent and she makes foolish choices she will come to regret. Now, when she is on the verge of having everything she's ever wanted, a devastating earthquake has torn across San Francisco and she awakes to discover the father of her baby is missing. With the city in flames, Templeton's daddy leaves Philadelphia and sets out in search of his son-in-law. He's too old for such a trip and ill-equipped for the challenges he will encounter, but he's the only hope of saving his daughter's happiness. Lines of communication are down and the city in shambles, so the only thing Templeton can do is pray she doesn't lose both her daddy and her husband.
