When Tina Evans gets a call from her brother in the middle of the night, she doesn''t think much of it; she''s been fielding distress calls from Bill for the last twenty years, ever since the day their father killed their mother.

Instead, she discovers the body of a private detective hidden in the junk heap out back. He''s been shot to death, and his gun is missing from its holster. Tina''s about to dial 911 when she receives a three-letter text message from a number she doesn''t recognize: ''Shh...'' Tina doesn''t believe in coincidence - the death of this detective and her brother''s disappearance must be related. But how? Could it be her father pulling the strings from his prison cell?

Going home to her parents is not possible, but for once Isla''s brother may be her saving grace. He''s out of town on business for a month, meaning the guest room in his condo is blissfully empty. Or so Isla thinks, until she runs into Cade Greenley, her brother''s best friend - who''s crashing there while his own condo is undergoing renovations. When a desperate plan to sleep under her desk miraculously turns into a house-sitting job for one of the big bosses at her office, Isla is certain her luck has turned - with no one, Cade included, the wiser. It''s a perfect solution - until Cade catches her sunbathing at a mansion that is definitely not hers, and she admits she''s house-sitting because she can''t afford rent. The pair strike a deal - Cade will keep Isla''s secret from her overbearing parents if she agrees to pose as his girlfriend at a few upcoming corporate events. The fun and friendly vibe of his office is a surprise compared to hers, but the biggest shock is that each ''date'' with Cade feels less and less fake. Suddenly she''s looking forward to every minute they spend together while the chemistry between them sizzles. As Isla''s house-sitting scheme begins to unravel, she''ll have to face the fact that her biggest lie of all is the one she''s telling herself: that she''s not falling in love with Cade.

With her trusty German Shephard, RBG-''Ruff Barker'' Ginsburg-by her side, what can go wrong? Okay, sure, bumping into her ex, Scott, or her former high school nemesis, Tricia, is a drag. It certainly doesn''t help that they have acquired the new hobby of shoving their recent engagement in her face every chance they get. But that doesn''t mean Quinn wanted to find Tricia dead in the road. So why does half the town think she may have done it?

They believe she''s innocent, but of course that doesn''t influence the police, who peg her as their prime suspect. Or, at least until she''s poisoned. But there is no way Quinn is going to stop now. Vienna is her town and-for better or worse-Tricia was one of their own. Someone may have killed the mocking girl, but no one''s going to stop the notorious QVC.
