Try explaining to the bank that your home isn't supposed to belong to a stranger. When someone tries to scam her elderly neighbor out of her house, Holly Fairbanks doesn't think twice about getting involved. Air is her gift - she feels change coming before it arrives, the way you'd feel a storm front shift - and something's been shifting in Fairbanks Cove for weeks. What starts as fraud spirals fast: an old friend framed for murder, an ex-boyfriend reappearing at the worst possible moment, and a town full of gossip that might actually be useful for once. She's not facing it alone.
Holly is one of four sisters, each tied to one of the elements in ways their small town has learned not to ask too many questions about - and her cat Milo, equal parts supervisor and conscience, isn't about to let her face this winter's storm without him. There's an older mystery too, one the sisters don't talk about - what really happened to their parents, gone twenty-five years now, the night something burned that should never have caught fire.
Holly doesn't know it yet, but this case is closer to that one than anyone realizes. Warm, witty, and laced with real magic - Milo's Christmas Mystery kicks off a series for readers who love sister-bonded magic, a cat who knows more than he should, and small-town secrets with roots deeper than anyone's ready for
