Damien Murphy Pet Sitting and Murder Investigations

Not everyone could say their luck started improving the day they got hit by a car, but not everyone was me. Which was good because one me is all the town of Lester Cove can handle.Ever since, murder's been afoot and my new friend seems to be right in the thick of things. Mrs. Witte is a sweet older lady but she cannot keep herself from getting involved with the murder mystery, and her stepson Benjamin seems to think that's somehow my fault.Look, I'm just a washed up child star turned accidental pet sitter and sometimes plucky sidekick. I had nothing to do with the deaths that seem to be happening at an alarming rate, deaths Mrs. Witte wants me to get to the bottom of to clear her friend's name. Dealing with Ben's antipathy is on my list, right below cleaning up after a dead woman's dog.Tea and Antipathy is a slow burn cozy romance with an MM romance woven in through the mystery.

Damien Murphy had a rough summer. A murder, another murder, an attempted murder, and accidental dog, and an annoying (maybe soon to be ex?) agent made his start in Lester Cove, Maine rockier than the shoreline. But things got better... mostly.Now, just a few months later, Damien is settling in. Kind of.A nemesis (wait... can a possibly washed out former child actor have a nemesis?) shows up, ready to make nice, and brings two nostalgia-stars from back in the day along for the trip. Damien is tempted--a part in a sure to be popular streaming biopic, a chance to dip his toes back into Hollywood and see if that's what he really wants? It sounds good, but the idea of working with Gerald Tubbs Junior again makes Damien's skin crawl. The only thing for it is to turn him down and face the wrath of Terrible Agent Rory.He just has to solve a murder first. When Meredith was in elementary school, they discovered two things: they hated sportsball and they love writing. Thanks to a teacher who decided the ideal punishment for refusing to play sportsball during the hot Texas afternoon was to make Meredith write, they discovered a lifelong love.Meredith lives way too far out west with their kid, partner, and cats who have never forgotten they were once worshipped as gods.
