Harper Harlow has everything she wants. She has a new house … a new fiancé … and some time off workbecause the stretch after the holidays is generally slow. All that changes whenshe gets a call from her mother during a storm. Gloria Harlow has a lot of attitude and it’s on full displaywhen Harper and her betrothed, Detective Jared Monroe, show up on the scene ofa murder. Gloria’s boyfriend is dead … and the story she’s telling doesn’texactly fit the scene. Jared finds himself in a conundrum. He loves Harper morethan life itself but her mother is a legitimate suspect … and he can’t ignorehis duties and cover for a woman he’s never very much liked. His life is throwninto turmoil when Gloria decides to move in – she’s too traumatized to stay byherself, after all – and he and Harper start working on the case from differentangles. When you add in Harper’s salty best friend Zander, who isenjoying the show far too much, and her father, things start spiraling quickly. Harper is determined to clear her mother – and get her outof the house before Jared explodes – and she wants to do it in record time.Unfortunately for her, the dead guy was known as a world-class jerk and thelist of suspects is long and sundry. The two sides are going to have to come together to solvethis one … and even then, the final answer might tear their entire world apart.
