Realtor Vivian Bexley left home ten years ago, and shed happily stay away. But when her fathers theatrics escalate to claiming life-or-death consequences if he doesnt sell his house in the rolling hills of Darlington, Californias wine country, Vivian cant help but get sucked back in. Weighed down with an extra-large serving of parental guilt, she begrudgingly books a flighta quick trip, in and out.

Except when she arrives, theres a dead body in the foyer, an annoyingly handsome officer on the lawn, andher father is missing.

Plans derailed, Vivian tries to fix the mess her father left behind, but nothing in Darlington is as it seemsespecially not Officer Chris Gomez, the do-gooder whose heated stares make it clear that he cant possibly be as sweet as he appears.

With threats looming and a plane to catch, Vivian cant risk her neckor her heartto solve every mystery. Can she?
