her way to a rosier future. She isn't quite so thrilled

her and giving her bad marks. With her father being
elected as King Felix, Zoe is kept as busy at night as she
is in the day, attending the balls as her father's
partner. Her life is complicated enough without finding a
body dressed as death at one of balls. When she calls the
police, the death is kept quiet and the detective proves to
be remarkably elusive when Zoe tries to find out more about
the young man.
Even though she really doesn't have the time, Zoe gets
caught up in the investigation. As she finds out more
about the young reporter, her family troubles will
increase. Her father is attacked and Zoe is threatened.
Meanwhile, the PR rep who has organized the food trucks has
disappeared.
