Recently divorced, she decides to pursue a dream she's secretly harbored: owning her own business, Spice it Up , a spice shop in her adopted hometown of Brandywine Creek, Georgia. But Piper's grand opening goes awry when the local chef who's agreed to do a cooking demo is found stabbed. Not only did Piper find the body, she handled the murder weapon...and now she doesn't even have a witness to her alibi...
