Magnolia Bluffs, Georgia–on the surface, it's the perfect small Southern town. But below the surface, as Zack Maynard discovers, is a different story. There's trouble afoot–vandalism and maybe even murder. Zack is a big-city California detective who arrives in Magnolia Bluffs to investigate what's happening with the real estate development his family has invested in.
That means dealing with Liza Henderson, a widow and one of the partners...and very much a Southern Lady. But Liza's not your typical belle. She's wacky, passionate, charming and unlike any woman Zack's ever met. Although their initial meeting isn't love–or even like–at first sight, they're experiencing an incredible chemistry.
Will the Real Estate Riddle turn into the Case of the California Cop and the Southern Widow?
