The birds are singing, books are selling, and the Hokes Bluff Inn has begun to host weddings on its property. Antiquarian bookseller Jenna Quinn loves the romance in the airâuntil her ex-fiancĂŠ, Blake Emerson, walks in with his bride-to-be, Missy Plott. Blake continues to profess his love for Jenna if sheâll have him back, no matter the consequences. And the consequences are grave, indeed, when Missy turns up dead. All evidence points to Blake, who was the last one to see her alive. He begs Jenna to help him clear his name. Blakeâs mother, Gwendolyn, is also bent on exonerating her son. Jenna doesnât believe Blake could have killed Missy, and she starts digging for suspects. It could have been Missyâs ex-boyfriend, who proclaims a love for her he says only death could sever. Or might it have been Missyâs bitter little sister, who was secretly besotted with Missyâs ex. Evidence turns up that links Missy's death to embezzlement and another murderâcrimes that had falsely implicated Jenna herself less than a year ago. As Gwendolyn continues to beg Jenna to help prove her sonâs innocence, Jenna wonders if Blake could truly be innocent. Jenna has to choose whether to risk it allâher reputation, her growing relationship with her boyfriend, and maybe her lifeâor let a possibly innocent man go to prison.
