  The Complete Series

  by

  Rosie Sams

  Dear reader,

  It is such an honor to share this book with you. I have always been a fan of three things, my French bulldog, baking, and sweet cozy mysteries.

  What could be better than curling up with a dog on your lap, a nice cake, and a cozy mystery?

  I work with a team of fabulous sweet authors at SweetBookHub.com

  Our aim is to entertain you with sweet books that you will love to read and can share with all the family.

  I am so pleased that they have given me the chance to share my books with you. Join our Exclusive Reader Club to find out more, it’s free to join.

  I know many of you will have already read some of the Bakers and Bulldog's cozy mysteries. If you missed any, or want to read them again then grab the whole series in this special value box set.

  Melody Marshal is just a regular gal who loves to bake and has made it her career. Known as a lovely redhead with a winning personality and a kind heart, she runs an award-winning baker, Decadently Delicious, with her friend Kerry. Kerry lives on coffee and can talk more than anyone Melody knows.

  Melody doesn’t believe she is special, all she wants is to see people enjoying life, and if a cupcake or sweet treat helps, then she is there.

  When a new customer leaves the cutest French Bulldog puppy outside the shop, Melody’s life is about to change forever.

  Who would guess that life in a bakery could be murder?

  Chapter One

  Ding. Melody stretched the dough a little further; holding her breath as she expertly pulled it just enough to ensure a perfectly thin, translucent layer. The bell pinged again, and Melody glanced around for Kerry.

  “Hey, Ker—where are you?” she called, failing to detect her assistant’s presence. Melody shook her head, wiped her hands on her apron, exited the kitchen and hurried into the shop. There stood her best customer, Alvin Hennessy, the small town’s local sheriff, his kind brown eyes lighting up as Melody came into his view. He hastily removed his hat, cleared his throat and smiled sheepishly down at her.

  “Oh, hey there, Mel. Sorry to stop in again today, but I forgot I needed a cake for Ma’s hen party tonight.” Alvin shuffled his feet shyly, his cheeks reddening.

  Melody sighed. She was grateful for his business, but suspected he purposely cut his order in two so he had an excuse to drop by twice today. She would have preferred efficiency, but good manners and a genuine fondness for the sheriff prevented her from showing any exasperation. She should be flattered by his attention—she knew, but she really wasn’t interested in a romantic relationship at this point in her life. Not that he wasn’t handsome, in his own way, but he was just not her type, she supposed, even if she were in the market for a romantic relationship. She took a quick moment to evaluate his appearance. He possessed the long, lean lines of a thoroughbred, but somehow wasn’t able to project his inherent attractiveness, even in uniform. Perhaps it was his constant grinning. It made him appear a little strange, no, that wasn’t really it; it was more his inability to realize his own appeal, a slight insecurity, an awkwardness. She mentally shook herself and focused on the business at hand.

  “Not a problem, Al. Always good to see you!” she said, forcing a smile.

  She felt a pang of guilt at her fib, but knew she probably made his day with her comment. In spite of her uncanny ability to notice and discern the overt as well as hidden attributes of others, Melody possessed a baffling blindness to her own qualities. She could have easily graced the pages of any magazine, even in jeans and her trademark logoed tee. An Irish beauty, Melody was blessed with more than her fair share of pluses: glossy auburn, shoulder-length tresses (albeit piled on her head and anchored with a hairnet), an angelic face, and statuesque curves to rival any pin-up girl. She had many secret (and not so secret) male admirers in town, but even though she was consistently friendly and courteous, she possessed an intimidating blend of self-assurance, the formerly discussed unawareness of her beauty, and a steadfast personal rule against flirting.

  “What kind of cake did you have in mind? We have a cream cheese-filled red velvet and an orange-hickory nut on hand. Kerry made them yesterday, and they’re still fresh.”

  As if summoned by her name, Kerry rushed in, flinging out hyper apologies as she whipped on an apron over her uniform of sparkly blue jeans and the shop’s logo-emblazoned t-shirt.

  “Where were you?” Melody asked.
