Elaine and her cousin, Jan, were both ready for a new season in their lives, so together they purchased a rambling lake house on the quiet shore of Lake Chickadee in Maine. Following in their grandmother’s footsteps, they converted part of the house into a charming tearoom that spills out onto the large veranda overlooking the lake.

As Elaine and Jan pour their heart and soul into making the tearoom a success, they are surprised to find themselves a magnet for the town’s many mysteries. People come for the delicious tea and crumpets and end up sharing all sorts of news and dilemmas with the cousins who are always eager to get involved. The lake house is also a goldmine of buried artifacts that raise puzzling questions of their own. Fortunately for everyone, the cousins are as good at serving up the truth as they are at serving tea.

Books in the Series

Tearoom for Two (Book 1)

Inspired by their grandmother, cousins Elaine and Jan decide to open Tea for Two, a lakeside tearoom where they can serve up cups of comfort to their patrons. When they buy a teapot at a flea market, the dealer tries to buy it back, and then a woman starts snooping around their house. Is she after the teapot, or the elegant piece of jewelry the electrician found in a wall? Then a would be thief nearly gets away with stealing their property from a restorer’s shop. When Elaine is threatened by a midnight burglar, it’s time for extreme action. Determined to make a success of their venture, the cousins press on in faith, uncovering many surprises and family secrets as they settle into the community and grow their new business together.

Tea Rose (Book 2)

Rose Young, a waitress at Tea for Two, comes to Elaine and Jan in distress. Her mother died recently, and in cleaning out her house, Rose found a death certificate — for herself. The document says she died when she was a year old. Rose knows very little about her mother’s past; and this death certificate suggests that events at the beginning of Rose’s life were even more mysterious. She doesn’t feel she can truly lay her mother to rest without understanding what happened decades ago. What could this death certificate mean? What happened when Rose was a year old — and what part did her mother play in it? It takes all of the cousins’ combined skills to sort out this confusing and eerie puzzle.

To a Tea (Book 3)

Elaine and Jan are preparing the tearoom for their first wedding reception, when the groom’s mother comes to Jan for help. Willa’s son, Ryan, a former Marine, has vanished. She doesn’t know where he went. He won’t answer either her or his bride-to-be’s phone calls, and the wedding is only a week away! Willa begs Jan and Elaine to help find her son before the big day. The cousins set out to discover: is Ryan simply experiencing cold feet, or is there something — or someone — more dangerous at work?

And there’s more… including High Tea, Time to Steep, and Tea Cakes!
