Synopsis

A touch of rouge, a sun-drenched coast, and a secret that won’t stay hidden in the vanity drawer…

Step into 1961 and meet Lemon Bennett, an enterprising Mary Lane cosmetics consultant who navigates the seaside glamour of Cameo Bay, California, behind the wheel of her prize pink Corvette convertible. With a trunk packed with sample cases, gold compacts, and the latest lip shades, Lemon knows that a good foundation carries a woman through anything—and that sitting at a client’s dressing table reveals what people desperately try to hide.
When prominent socialite Vivienne Harcourt disappears without a trace from her cliffside Spanish estate, leaving behind an untouched handbag and an empty chair at the season's premier charity luncheon, the town is quick to whisper. But Lemon notices the small clues the police overlook: a disturbed drawer, an uneasy phone call, and the sudden vanishing of a brand-new, exclusive tube of Cameo Rose lipstick.

Team up with Lemon, her sharp-witted newspaper reporter best friend Kitty, a watchful cat named Mimi, and a handsome local architect who keeps trying to redesign her Corvette's trunk. Together, they peel back thirty years of high society lies, buried family scandals, and missing letters. Lemon must use her sharp eye for detail to uncover the truth before high-stakes secrets swallow Cameo Bay whole.
