Blurb:

Untitled Cozy Mystery by Marisa D'Vari

Ambitious new college grad Nina Brown exploded with excitement when assigned to oversee a fancy weekend competition in Provence, France. As assistant editor for a trendy lifestyle magazine, this foodie scribe knows her success will make or break her editorial career.

Eager to escape her "Nice Girl Nina" moniker in romantic Provence, Nina shakes her long red hair- and big city inhibitions- free.

Within hours, she falls under the spell of a handsome French contestant, local charmer who shows her secret corners of his lavender-scented village.

Yet just when our chowhound thinks she's found her soulmate, a cantankerous judge collapses on stage during his gastronomic evaluation.

The local detective is quick to accuse Nina's paramour of attempted murder via poison, throwing the competition in disarray.

Can Nina exonerate her lover and save her magazine from a PR nightmare before it's too late?

If you're a fan of the Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery Series, have a penchant for precarious French Bulldogs who wear Prada, and enjoy suave male leads with charm, this book is for you.
