Olivia McAfee understands what it’s like to start over. Her idyllic existence in Boston, married to a talented cardiothoracic surgeon, and raising their lovely son, Asher, was shattered when her spouse revealed a darker side. She never expected to return to her small New Hampshire birthplace, live in the house she grew up in, and take over her father’s beekeeping company.

Lily Campanello is also accustomed to do-overs. When Emily and her mother relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her senior year of high school, they both hope for a new beginning.

And, for a brief moment, these new starts are precisely what Olivia and Lily require. When Asher falls for the new girl at school, Lily cannot help but fall for him. For the first time, she is happy with Ash. But she sometimes worries if she can entirely trust him…

Olivia then receives a phone call informing her that Lily has died and that Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is unwavering in her belief that her son is innocent. But she’d be lying if she didn’t admit to seeing flashes of his father’s rage in Ash, and as the case against him emerges, she discovers he’s kept more secrets than he’s shared with her.

Mad Honey is a suspenseful novel, an unforgettable love tale, and a compelling and profound exploration of the secrets we hold and the risks we take to become ourselves.
