Dakota and Poppy’s next case falls way too close to home...
Daniel Jensen’s career is flourishing until an anonymous demand for money threatens to derail his life. Dakota takes the case, thinking this one might be open and shut, but what she finds is a tangled web of romance, deceit, and never-ending drama.
With the help of Cole and two new reporters at the Gazette, Dakota, along with her occasional kitty sidekick, unweaves a complicated series of lies and half-truths. Even Hardy steps in to assist, but his help comes with a serious entanglement of the heart-one Dakota isn’t sure she’s ready for.
But love and crime wait for no one, and soon, Dakota is plunged headfirst into a case the likes of which she’s never seen and working alongside a new and improved Hardy, one she isn’t sure she wants to resist anymore.
This time, the stakes for her heart and life have never been higher.
