The splashy wedding for Elise Beckett and Sheriff's Deputy Jackson Landry was the event of the season at River Bend Vineyard in Delphine, Texas, and the first ten days of their honeymoon in Napa Valley wine country was just as lovely. Yet when the happy couple meets up with the rest of the wedding party at Bella Luna Castle Winery and Vineyard in Oregon, the end of their fabulous honeymoon trip takes a disturbing turn when the group tours the winery and discovers a body in a most bizarre setting.
Jackson and his partner, Jim Stockton are way out of their jurisdiction but are pulled into the investigation by the Shiloh County Sheriff. However, not to be sidelined, Elise starts digging. The mysterious death seems to have a connection to the original sale of the vineyard. It's a history steeped in underlying land schemes, sabotage, and unsettled scores where secrets are plentiful and everyone is a suspect—even their good friend and majority shareholder, Miranda Rollins.
