As the owner of the Made In Heaven Wedding Designs, Carnegie Kincaid had seen her fair share of happy-ever-afters, and some not so happy-ever-afters, from behind the scenes. So when she is invited to attend her friend Tracy's extravagant wedding to her former love interest Jack Packard, which is being planned by her nemesis and top wedding designer Beau Palierre, Carnegie begs off from attending. She'd rather not see what either competition was up to, seeing as her own business was suffering as was her present love life. But when circumstances begin a down-hill run, starting with the untimely smoke-jumping death of her not-so-favorite cousin Brian and a frantic phone call from her best friend BJ involving an incident revolving around both Brian's death and their friend Tracey's wedding, Carnegie finds herself sucked into going back home to Sun Valley, Idaho to try and smooth over a crisis of the heart, solve a possible murder, and sort out a wacky soap-opera wedding.

Once she arrives home, Carnegie must undertake an incredibly difficult job of multi-tasking when she is asked to take over the planning and running of Tracy's wedding, help her friend BJ track down a precious piece of jewelry that will save her marriage, find out how and why her cousin died so mysteriously, and keep her old boyfriend, Jack, and her new boyfriend, Aaron, from killing each other, all while dealing with Tracey's flaky, purple-loving mama and her incredibly wealthy, but down-to-earth papa as well as her own mother's blossoming romance. Whew!
