Bernadette "Bernie" Hunt prides herself on never settling. In school,
she was always at the top of her class, and after graduating from
Spellman with honors she landed a job at one of Atlanta's top marketing
firms. She lives by her father's motto: the best of everything, or
nothing at all.
Bernie excels in life, but love is another story. Being gorgeous, smart
and from a well-to-do family, she has no shortage of high society
suitors vying for her attention, but when measured against her father,
none seem good enough. This changes when she meets Keith Davis, a hot
shot lawyer recently hired at her father's firm.
Keith is handsome, financially stable, and as skilled in the bedroom as
he is in open court, with an infectious personality that draws people,
including Bernie, to him. Being new to Atlanta from New Orleans, Keith's
past is somewhat of a mystery, but that doesn't stop Bernie from falling
head over heels for him. The day Keith gets down on one knee and
proposes to Bernie is one of the happiest of her life. She has found a
kindred soul who seems to bring everything to the table... including a
dark secret.
When Keith is unexpectedly summoned back to New Orleans to attend the
funeral of a relative killed under questionable circumstances, Bernie
insists on being by his side. Their trip to the Big Easy will find the
couple in the middle of a murder mystery that Keith has been reluctantly
charged to solve. During the investigation into the slaying, secrets
will be unearthed about Keith's past that cause Bernie to question
everything she thought she knew about the man she's agreed to marry.
