Magnolia Bluffs, Georgia--on the surface, it's the perfect small Southern town. But below the surface, as Zack Maynard discovers, is a different story. There's trouble afoot--vandalism and maybe even murder. Zack is a big-city California detective who arrives in Magnolia Bluffs to investigate what's happening with the real estate development his family has invested in. That means dealing with Liza Henderson, a widow and one of the partners... and very much a Southern Lady. But Liza's not your typical belle. She's wacky, passionate, charming and unlike any woman Zack's ever met. Although their initial meeting isn't love--or even like--at first sight, they're experiencing an incredible chemistry. Will the Real Estate Riddle turn into the Case of the California Cop and the Southern Widow?
