Renowned romance novelist Sara Medlar returns to her Florida hometown to restore an old mansion she admired as a child—working alone to keep her privacy. When her niece Kate arrives seeking a fresh start, she expects a peaceful refuge, only to find Jack, a charming stranger, already living under the same roof.

The trio’s uneasy alliance is tested when construction unearths two human skeletons on the estate grounds. United by a shared curiosity and a desire for justice, Sara, Kate and Jack begin piecing together clues that point to decades-old secrets and simmering grudges.

As they navigate town gossip and hidden alliances, each discovery brings them closer to the dark truth—and closer to personal danger. A Willing Murder launches the Medlar Mystery series with a blend of suspense, relatable characters and a richly drawn southern community.
