Charley Van Leeuwen can tell by a man's kiss whether he's been drinking Taittinger or Veuve Clicquot. The last thing anybody expected was for her to come home to San Francisco with a husband.

Jack Fairfax is the definition of tall, dark, and handsome. He's also a man with a past, and Charley soon learns that past is not exactly what he says it's been.

Does Jack know more than he's telling about the murdered woman Charley found in her bathtub on her first night back in town? Like who the victim was? And where the hell she left her clothes?

Kidnappings, murders, bitter ex-boyfriends, out-of-control relatives, and vicious former spies--it's a lot for Charley to handle, all while staging a play, starting a business, and getting to the heart of this whole marriage thing.
