Tula Yates wasn't prepared for the phone call that Dawson, her cousin, had been murdered. Paul Reed wasn't prepared to learn his business partner willed his part of the Oyster Bar & Grill to his cousin from Key West, over eleven hundred miles away. She's independent, headstrong, and unbelievably private. He's head over heels in love with her at first sight. However, Tula is determined to hold back her desires. She's been burned by love and relationships one too many times and refuses to torture herself like that again even if Paul might be Mr. Right. But Dawson's death isn't the only strange thing happening at The Oyster Bar. When one partner goes missing, and a second partner turns up dead, can Tula continue to trust the one man who's had her back since the day she arrived in Jett's Landing, or will she become the next partner to face a killer?
