Stitches in the Sand: A Seabreeze Cove Cozy Mystery (Book 4)

Lila came to Seabreeze Cove for a fresh start. She stayed because something in this town keeps pulling her back toward the truth — and this time, the truth is buried in the dunes.

When Captain leads her to a body half-covered by sand on a storm-swept morning, the death looks like an accident. Then Lila sees the mark on the collar — a compass rose in a diamond — and recognizes it from the underside of Aunt May's desk drawer, where she noticed it months ago and immediately forgot about it.

She shouldn't have forgotten about it.

What follows leads her through abandoned harbor tunnels, century-old maritime routes, and a network so deeply embedded in Seabreeze Cove that untangling it means confronting the oldest families in town — including, possibly, Graham Holt's.

Aunt May spent thirty years trying to expose what's hidden beneath this town. She didn't finish. She left Lila a key, a notebook, and a letter that arrives at exactly the wrong moment to be ignored.

With Graham asking questions he's not sure he wants answered, Marigold supplying both intelligence and pastries, and Captain continuing to be the most reliable member of the investigation, Lila follows a pattern that was never meant to surface.

Some things get buried for good reasons. Some get buried because the people burying them were afraid.

Aunt May knew the difference. Now Lila has to decide what to do with it.

Stitches in the Sand is the fourth Seabreeze Stitchery Mystery — deeper, wider, and stitched through with thirty years of secrets that were only ever waiting for the right person to ask.
