Adams Grove is mourning the loss of Pearl Clemmons, known for her award-winning Chocolate Pecan Pie and the best unsolicited advice in the county.When Jill returns to settle her grandmothers estate, shes greeted by a Clydesdale-sized guardian dog who doesnt seem to be earning his stripes (although he drools on them pretty well), and Garrett Malloy, the ex-fiancé she left behind a year ago.Jill insists on staying at Pearls amidst a string of break-ins that have sleepy Adams Grove wide awake and locking its doors.
Jills past with Garrett becomes the least of her worries when she learns that their lives are in danger and that shes the only person standing between a desperate conman and a secret from Pearls past.Will Pearls past kill any chance of Jill and Garretts future together?
