Forty-two-year-old Mia Thorne is not living her best life. After a disastrous career-and-relationship-ending event, she escapes New York City and moves to a sleepy river town in Pennsylvania, courtesy of a dead aunt she never knew. Aunt Hazel was the reclusive family nut, a self-proclaimed psychic. Of course, Mia's dad always told her that she, too, had the gift, but after his death, her mother made sure to squelch the notion. No square pegs allowed! Aunt Hazel's old cottage is only slightly better than the decrepit gardens surrounding it. Mia doesn't know the first thing about gardening and expects this will be one more failure on her seemingly endless list. Even Aunt Hazel's ancient cat seems to have pegged her as a loser. When Mia stumbles over a body in the overgrown garden, the newcomer catches the eye of the police chief and his hotshot detective, Derek Fairfax, and she becomes the number one suspect in the case. Much to her shock and awe, she also catches the eye of Derek's brother, Dane, a lawyer with a head for what's legal and a bod for what isn't-but getting arrested for murder would certainly put a damper on her dating life. Will Mia tap into her long-buried psychic skills in order to save herself or will she end up digging her own grave?
