Falling in love was never part of the plan for this grumpy private investigator when he came to Charlotte Oaks… but maybe he just needed a little small-town sunshine.
I never thought my penchant for meddling would land me in the crosshairs of a grumpy, wounded PI with a chip on his very broad shoulder—but I suspect it has everything to do with how tall, dark, and annoyingly handsome he is.
No one in Charlotte Oaks knows why Tucker Black really came to town, but that doesn’t stop them from watching like hawks. And it certainly doesn’t stop me from inserting myself into his case to prove my best friend’s innocence.
Tucker calls me his “wild card,” and even though he’s planning to leave Charlotte Oaks, would a fall fling with the giant grump be such a bad idea? After all, it’s not every day a girl gets to play detective with a man who promises to keep her safe.
But when secrets from the past start creeping into the present and a hidden treasure gets everyone’s hearts racing, I might just be in over my head—with both the case and the man trying to solve it.
And with the clock ticking and the plot twisting faster than the falling leaves, do I even want him to solve this case if it means he’ll pack up and leave?
