With a blackmailer still on the loose back home, now is not the ideal time for Chloe LaRue to fly to Ireland for a wedding. But when her mother, Lila, announces she’s getting married to a man Chloe has never even met, there’s no backing out.
Chloe already has more than enough on her plate. The blackmailer haunting Ponderosa Pines has dangerous ties to her best friend and crime-solving partner, EV Torrence—ties that must be severed if EV is ever going to move on with her life. Unfortunately, distance doesn’t make secrets disappear.
Concerned that Lila may be marrying a gold-digging philanderer, Chloe and EV arrive at a picturesque Irish castle only to discover the groom is the least of their worries. There’s barely time to unpack before EV’s past resurfaces, tensions explode, and the wedding photographer is kidnapped.
With the ceremony fast approaching and chaos mounting, Chloe and EV must untangle a mystery that stretches all the way back to Ponderosa Pines. Solving it may be the only way to get Lila safely down the aisle—and finally put an end to the trouble following them from home.
