Heart First (Hudson Valley Murder Mysteries Book 1) --> Hudson Valley Murder Mysteries Book 1

Daniel Rosenbaum leads a predictable life as a professor at Lobell, a small liberal arts college in the Hudson Valley. Alongside his friends and fellow professors Colette and Mario, he spends his days teaching classes and conducting research. The biggest shake-up in Daniel's routine occurs when car trouble leads him to an unexpected romantic encounter with local mechanic Tony across the Hudson.

Tragedy strikes when Mario is murdered, throwing Daniel's orderly life into chaos. His friend's death reveals hidden secrets that could tear apart Lobell's tight-knit community. As Daniel grapples with grief and confusion, his relationship with Tony becomes the only source of solace.

However, as Daniel delves deeper into Mario's mysterious past, he discovers a connection to Angel Automotive, Tony's family's auto repair shop. This unexpected turn forces Daniel to reevaluate everything: his friendships, his career, his lifestyle, and the uncertain romance with Tony.

Daniel finds himself torn between love and danger, questioning the authenticity of his relationships and the safety of his once-predictable life. Despite the uncertainty, one thing remains clear: Daniel is falling headfirst into the unknown, unsure if it leads to love or peril.
