Best friends turned strangers must set aside their differences in adulthood-and their long-repressed romantic feelings-to clear each other's names of murder in this moody sapphic romance from USA Today bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur. Wren 'Byrdie' Beaufain is getting married. It's secretly a marriage of convenience between platonic friends, but still, as the bride, she's not supposed to be thinking about her fiancé's half-sister.
She is not supposed to resent the fact that their once-close friendship is now a distant memory. And above all, she's absolutely not supposed to contend with a murder on what should be her wedding day. Juniper Legare hasn't been home to Charleston in almost a decade-and for several very good reasons. And none of those reasons pertain to her former best friend. But as the black sheep of the wealthy Legare family, it's only fitting that her not-so-triumphant return is shortly followed by a murder investigation.
As Juniper and Byrdie reconnect for the first time in eight years, the two spark in ways neither expected-despite the extremely awkward timing. As the wedding party transitions to a funeral procession after Juniper's father is found dead, Juniper and Byrdie both must clear their names as suspects. Which means they must try to set aside their years-long resentments and all-consuming physical attraction to each other, put their hearts on the line, and work together as a team in a family gathering that's turned deadly.
