It's been years since former stockbroker Madeline Carter
bothered thinking about her gastronomically gifted ex-
husband, Chef Braydon Gauthier. Between quitting her soul-
sucking career and discovering what life is like during
daylight hours she's been kind of busy. But when Madeline
learns Braydon took his own life, she drops everything and
hightails it to the funeral. It doesn't take long to realize Braydon's death is more
murder than suicide. Madeline knows her ex would never
have prepared himself a poison-laced dinner of duck à
l'orange—let alone pair it with a big, beefy Shiraz. The
culinary star would have eaten fast food first. So who's responsible? Madeline definitely has her
suspicions, but one thing's clear: in the pressure-cooker
world of high cuisine and higher stakes, a reputation is
worth killing for.
