I first discovered the work of Beth Prentice in 2015 and have enjoyed her books ever since. My favorite series among those she writes is the Aloha Lagoon Samantha Reynolds mysteries and I’m so excited to share with you the cover reveal for the next book, coming February 2022 and is up for pre-order.

Book Synopsis
From USA Today bestselling author Beth Prentice comes a disaster of a wedding in paradise. . .

Samantha Reynolds’ life in Aloha Lagoon has just become perfect. Her boyfriend Casey has asked her to marry him, and with Casey’s family in town for a few weeks, it’s the perfect opportunity to throw a surprise wedding! The only problem is that on such short notice, their wedding planner can only do so much. Especially when their resort is already overbooked with reality TV personality and his entourage.

While Sam has her doubts about pulling this off when she meets the combative last-minute caterer her planner hired, she swaps her flip flops for stilettos and makes her way down the aisle anyway. Only before she can say “I Do,” the caterer is found dead—face down in their wedding cake!

Suddenly things go from marriage to murder, and Sam is at the center of it all. With the police looking at her wedding planner as the number one suspect, Casey’s mother shouting about bad omens and doing her best to convince Casey to go home to England, Sam knows that if she’s going to tie the knot with the man of her dreams, she must uncover the real killer and prove them all wrong.

But can she find a murderer, convince Casey that his mother is wrong, and plan a whole new wedding before the truth catches up with them all? Or will Sam be the next victim?

This may not be the happily ever after she was expecting. . .
