Realtor Vivian Bexley left home ten years ago, and she'd happily stay away. But when her father's theatrics escalate to claiming life-or-death consequences if he doesn't sell his house in the rolling hills of Darlington, California's wine country, Vivian can't help but get sucked back in. Weighed down with an extra-large serving of parental guilt, she begrudgingly books a flight-a quick trip, in and out.

Except when she arrives, there's a dead body in the foyer, a handsome officer on the lawn, and...her father is missing.

Plans derailed, Vivian tries to fix the mess her father left behind, but nothing in Darlington is as it seems-especially not Officer Chris Gomez, the do-gooder whose heated stares make it clear that he can't possibly be as sweet as he appears.

With threats looming and a plane to catch, Vivian can't risk her neck-or her heart-to solve every mystery. Can she?
