It's been three months since Jake Archer rolled into town,
accused Mia Connors of murder and stole her heart. She
hasn't heard from him since. So when a man collapses at the
fall Renaissance Faire, she's surprised to see the US
marshal arrive on scene. And shocked when he points the
finger at her—again. Mia would sooner be able to resurrect
the poor fellow than poison him.
Jake Archer's career has been rising fast, but it's about to
come to a crashing halt. The Ren-Faire victim was in
protective custody—Jake's custody—and they were painfully
close to nabbing a major crime boss. If Jake doesn't solve
the murder soon, he'll be fetching donuts instead of
protecting his nation. A difficult enough task without the
alluring Mia Connors in the way.
Working with Jake to catch the killer might push Mia into
crazy-cat-lady territory. But with a murderer on the
loose—and Mia's reputation on the line—they'll have to work
fast to find the killer before the killer finds them.
