What's Inside
When beloved Georgia baker Momma Peach finds Old Joe—a con man from her past—standing at her bakery door, the last thing she expects is to be drawn into a deadly political conspiracy. Old Joe witnessed the murder of a senator's son and now federal agents are on his trail, threatening not only his life but everyone who helps him. With the ruthless Agent Davison and his thugs closing in, Momma's peaceful small town is suddenly anything but tranquil.

Together, they race to uncover the truth behind a murder that reaches all the way to Washington D.C. When Momma hides Old Joe in the secret cellar beneath her bakery—once used to shelter escaping slaves—she knows she's risking everything. But some connections run deeper than old grudges, and even a con man deserves justice.
With unlikely help from nerdy newcomer Able Glates, Momma Peach must navigate treacherous waters where politics and murder make dangerous bedfellows. Will Old Joe find the redemption he never knew he needed? And can Michelle's newfound courage extend beyond the badge to matters of the heart?
