Mystery Woman Sleuth
Savvy security specialist Jersey Barnes assures everyone
that she has retired for good this time—she had a party
with a three-layer cake and champagne toasts to prove it.
But when a judge calls in a favor, the former field-
trained government agent agrees to figure out what secrets
might be putting the judge's brother, Morgan, in danger.
His car searched, his apartment burglarized, and it
appears as though somebody is watching his every move. Not one to overreact, Morgan dismisses the judge's attempt
to help him as an over-protective big sister's paranoia.
He just wants to succeed in his new business venture,
Argos. Wilmington's most hip restaurant, Argos guest list
is legendary. When Morgan's father died, the eatery was
left solely to Morgan. Despite his lack of experience in
the food industry, the introverted bachelor is determined
to keep his father's legacy alive. It's only when Morgan has a close call with death that he
confides in Jersey: his father may have been murdered, and
Morgan thinks he knows why. But he can't divulge further
details without opening the door to his own humiliating
secret, and risk losing Argos. While trying to keep her zany father and his poker buddies
out of trouble, and exploring unfamiliar territory with
her steamy business partner-turned-lover, Jersey stays on
the case in her historic hometown of Wilmington, North
Carolina.
