Cinn Spice is an expert in bad choices. Becoming a mortician to help her demanding relative should top them all. But she overachieves by participating in a dating show run by her former high school nemesis and falls for the unavailable jerk next door, all while a mysterious creep attempts to haunt her out of town.

To fix her missteps, Cinn has to uncover the identity of “the ghost,” her neighbor’s secret, and the why behind her pushover flaw. If she succeeds without breaking too many laws, the holidays are bound to turn delicious.

The Lonely Mortician is a fun read with the unique combination of suspenseful surprises and comedic relief.

Kissing only. No expletives. Some blood and descriptions of embalming and death. 

Frisking is an interesting way to start a relationship. So is bonding over grief. Mix in an Italian mob, a hijacked ransom note, and two competing bakeries and you’ve got a war, a Bake War.

Former thief Bridge O’Niall needs to wipe her ledger clean. A new identity plus a fresh start are the perfect ingredients to create a guilt-free do-over.

FBI Agent Cowen Amaratti needs a change of profession, one where he doesn’t have to shoot anyone ever again. When the two meet, their lives are too incompatible, oil and water. But everything changes when they both move to the same tiny town to live their dreams as bakers.

Pilpil Bay, Oregon is hardly big enough to support one bakery, let alone two, so Bridge and Cowen duel in a bake-off. But competition isn’t healthy for a budding relationship, neither are ghosts from their past that endanger everyone. The only way to keep their friends and families safe is to do the things they’d vowed never to do again—steal and kill.

Bake Wars is a romantic suspense.

Trigger Warnings: Some discussion and elements of suicide, gun violence, and death (minimum blood).

What if life dishes you a slice of both?

“This sweet romantic comedy had me turning pages until I was finished. Tregaskis captures the essence of accepting others as they are while also illustrating the benefit of recognizing the changes we all have to face to become who we are meant to be. Definitely NOT Cruising for Love is heartfelt, quirky in all the right ways, and sweet on the romance.”
