When wedding planning purgatory turns deadly…

Carolina Slade finds herself unable to agree with her fiancé Special Agent Wayne Largo on how and where to tie the knot. She's finally willing to visit rustic wedding venues around Lake Murray, but marriage plans take a back seat when she stumbles on a body which might be the latest in a series of worrisome farmer deaths.

Worse, when she's brought into the case, her boss—a longtime friend—isn't forthcoming with information or his reasons for having her investigate accidents and suicides. Suddenly Slade is running a case off book, forbidden to discuss any details with her fiancé, and wondering if Lake Murray money schemes are going to get her and those she loves killed.
