Small Town Shenanigans by Kristy Tate

Sydney Corbet, a therapist employed by the mega-publishing juggernaut, Shusterfield House, has been dispatched to the tiny town of Cascadia, Washington, to soothe the ruffled feathers of a reclusive literary genius. When Dallas Haywood learns his irritable octogenarian neighbor is secretly penning swoon-worthy teeny-bopper romances, he’s happy to help the old man keep his anonymity. As the world's gaze fixates on Cascadia in a feverish scavenger hunt frenzy, promising a face-to-face meeting with the author and a life-altering million-dollar treasure, Sydney and Dallas find themselves thrust into an uneasy alliance of necessity. But in a race against time where every clue poses a deadly risk, they discover the stakes are far higher than just unmasking an author's identity or securing a bounty—it's a battle for their very hearts and lives. Small Town Shenanigans is book #2 in the Small Town series. Each book is a standalone, full-length, contemporary romantic adventure and follows the exploits and escapades of one of the six Haywood children in the small town of Cascadia, Washington.
