Spring has arrived in Hollowmere, and with it, the village’s annual market—a celebration of pies, prizes, and scandal. Clara Holt promised her stern vampire husband she’d behave. No sleuthing. No trouble. No over-the-desk punishments. 

But when a beloved schoolmaster drops dead after judging the pie contest, Clara finds herself tangled in another murder mystery. The baker has vanished. Her young son is left behind. And every clue only leads to more danger—especially when Clara’s digging uncovers something far worse than bad baking. 

Lucien Holt is many things: the village sergeant, her dominant protector, and a man who keeps his promises. If Clara breaks the rules again, he intends to leave her blushing, breathless, and very, very sore. 

Darkly delicious and perfectly wicked, Death at the Spring Market is a historical domestic discipline mystery with possessive love, sensual punishment, and a heroine who never stays in her lane.
