Mallory Beck never expected her first real date with Detective Alex Martinez to involve murder.
Hoping for a quiet evening away from her freeloading father, Mallory agrees to attend a local Bible study with Alex. But the peaceful gathering quickly turns tense when two attendees clash over their opposing views on alcohol.
Then one of them turns up dead.
As rumors spread through Honeysuckle Grove, Mallory and Alex find themselves drawn into another deadly investigation. With emotions running high and suspects hiding dangerous secrets, Mallory soon discovers this case is far more complicated than it first appeared.
Between whispered gossip, simmering grudges, and clues hidden among the local vineyards, Mallory must trust her instincts before the killer strikes again.
Can she uncover the truth—or will her first date with Alex become her last?
