With Thule and Marigold away in Boston, Dawn is stuck alone in Mannsborough and finds that abstinance is not as easy as it was before she met them. She's on a quest for love. And, if she doesn't find it soon, nobody may be safe. (A follow-up to Princes of Mannsborough.)
Jake Steiner's marriage is falling apart. He's steeled himself for anything. But, he's still not ready for what happens when his wife Hazel asks him to meet her on neutral ground.
Now that she's no longer Mrs. Ivan Vandevoort, Svetlana has to decide what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Not wanting to be idle or useless, she decides to drop out of the life she had and drop in to college. She soon discovers that college life is something she was not entirely prepared for.
Marigold Tarr is finally at Harvard, just like she always wanted. More incredibly, she's there with her boyfriend, Thule Roemer. But, now that Thule's out of the revenge business and working on establishing a life for himself, Marigold is afraid he's working himself to death. If only he would sleep instead of worrying about maintaining their relationship, he might make it through this year.
Thule Roemer is a minor celebrity thanks to his pivotal role in the arrest and pending trial of Ivan and Randy Vandevoort. If that were all he were, life would be simple. But, he's also the owner of a security start-up, the hypoteneuse in a love triangle, and a freshman at MIT.
He's barely keeping it all together when a new case that he just can't refuse is dropped in his lap, particularly when he finds out it involves his friend, Ioke Nahalu.
