Jazzy has always loved Jamie Upton, the heir to the Upton fortune and town user and loser. When Jamie is brutally murdered, Jazzy is the prime suspect because of their rocky romantic history. Jazzy has always been the town's favorite source of gossip and the murder just brings up buried history. Jazzy turns to her bar bouncer, Caleb McCord, who has made no effort to hide his feelings for Jazzy. Before she can move on, she must come to grips with her past and track down the real killer. Complicating the situation is a woman who looks enough like Jazzy to be her twin, friends desperately trying to keep her safe. | ||
