Summary

Everly might be running out of island time in her most dangerous case yet!

Café owner and amateur sleuth Everly Swan, like every Swan woman before her, is cursed in love. The only problem? She’s head over heels for Detective Grady Hays, who doesn’t believe in magic of any kind.

But it feels like a sign when a historian researching the Swan family is murdered, and Everly fears the curse is spreading. She and Grady take the case—curse-related or not, there’s a killer loose on the island. Big change is coming for Everly and her friends, but between running her café, choosing a wedding dress, investigating mysterious strangers, and dodging increasingly threatening messages from the killer, Everly’s not sure she’ll get her happy ever after!
