THE ALPHA'S ALIBI
Poppy Fenwick runs Stonepeak's outer settlement general store, and she notices things. It's a habit, nothing more, until the pack's shared grain stores turn up empty overnight and the evidence points squarely at Deputy Alpha Garrick Holt, the very wolf whose alibi only Poppy can confirm.
The bond hits the moment she's called to testify. The council, understandably wary of testimony this conveniently timed, doubts her account despite its accuracy. Rather than accept that doubt, Poppy decides to investigate the theft herself, and discovers a mismatched handwriting sample, tracks that don't match the accused, and a longtime, trusted storehouse keeper whose careful composure keeps cracking under the weight of a resentment nobody thought to notice.
What follows is a genuine, fair-play mystery: real clues, a real culprit, and a real motive, resolved through careful observation rather than convenient assumption, all set against the backdrop of a clean, restrained fated-mates bond that never overshadows the puzzle at its center.
The Alpha's Alibi is a trial volume set within the same connected world as this author's Stonepeak Pack series, blending a genuine cozy mystery with the clean, closed-door romance readers already trust from this catalog. No explicit content, no thin plot dressed up in cozy atmosphere, and a happy ending that resolves both the mystery and the romance completely.
What readers can expect:
A genuine, fair-play whodunit with real clues the reader can follow alongside Poppy
A restrained romantic subplot that never overtakes the actual mystery
A competent, observant heroine, not a passive bystander to her own story
Clean, closed-door romance with zero explicit content
A proportionate, restorative resolution consistent with this world's established values
A complete, standalone mystery with real potential for future volumes
