Darcy’s got an invitation to join Ethan at an auction. No, this isn’t the date he supposedly asked her out for a while ago. This is a favor for his cousin who’s some well-known New York Times bestseller. Why not, since said author agreed to do a book signing at Darcy’s bookstore, and that’s bound to bring in more business. Not to mention that’s going to satisfy Becca’s crush on said author.
What could go wrong at an auction for an old desk? Nothing, but what happens after the auction raises eyebrows. His home’s broken into and the desk’s been vandalized. And speaking of raised eyebrows, imagine Pete’s when he walks in late at night to process the crime scene and finds Darcy there.
And to think after Darcy’s last adventure with the wealthy sector of Cape Hope, she’d be done with attempts on her life. No such luck. And to compound matters, it seems that Ethan’s life’s at stake as well.
