Bitter Harvest

Megan Sawyer should be shouting from the barn roof. Washington Acres survived its first year, the café has become a hotspot for locals, and Winsome’s sexy Scottish veterinarian is making house calls—only not for the animals. But as summer slips into fall and Winsome prepares for its grand Oktoberfest celebration, beer isn’t the only thing brewing.

When the town’s pub owner is killed in a freak accident, Megan suspects something sinister is afoot in Winsome—but no one is listening. As nights grow longer and temperatures chill, Megan must plow through Winsome’s fixation with autumn festivities to harvest the truth—before another dead body marks the season.

The problems that Megan suffered in Book One seemed to well and truly over, Clay and his sister Clover are the right hand pair and the new chef (along with Bonnie) is working well at the cafe. Megan also has another assistant (an Army Vet with PTSD who is settling in nicely!) At the cafe it has become the place to go and have meetings or just generally shoot the breeze with friends, one of the groups meeting are arranging the inaugural Oktoberfest (and Megan is hoping that Washington Acres will be picked as one of the sponsors which will boost their sales – but things seem to start going wrong and Megan (with help from friends and family) needs to sort it all out again.
