Cora Marshall has no regrets over abandoning her old life as a socialite for a career in detective work, especially since her partner is the dashing werewolf Sam Hayes. She brings the connections, he brings the brawn, and by honing both with their intelligence, they've impressed even the most cynical minds of Crescent City's elite circles.

Tasked with posing as wedding guests, they must navigate through cunning magic, dark motives, and a list of suspects both human and inhuman. It won't be easy; everyone has secrets to hide, especially the bride and groom themselves...
