New Orleans--Hunter Galen, a stock and securities broker,
suspects his business partner, James Nowak, may be involved
in embezzling their clients' money, but he's reluctant to
jeopardize their friendship based on suspicion alone. After
James turns up dead, Hunter realizes his unwillingness to
confront a problem may have cost James his life.
Nicki Price, a newly minted PI, intends to solve the
stockbroker's murder, recover the missing millions from the
client accounts, and establish herself in the career she
adores. As she ferrets out fraud and deception at Galen
Investments, Hunter's fiancee, Ashley Menard, rubs Nicki the
wrong way. Nicki doesn't trust the ostentatious woman with
an agenda longer than the Mississippi River. Ashley seems to
be hiding something, but is Nicki's growing attraction to
Hunter--a suspected murderer--her true reason for disliking
Ashley?
As they encounter sophisticated shell games, blackmail, and
murder, Nicki and Hunter's only option is to turn to God as
they search for answers, elude lethal danger, and perhaps
discover love along the way.
