Put together two nosy detectives, an incompetent small town police force, one rather slow evening, and an elderly couple being brought in for questioning on their latest spate of supposedly "petty" crimes- and what do you get?

A disregard to the regular rules of privacy.

Bored stiff out of their minds, with the couples' case files sitting right there in front of them along with a hell of a lot of time to waste, trainee Detective Bennet and her colleague take a surface-level dive into exposing some of the truth behind just what makes these two pensioners so notorious in the town.

Soon, she's agreed to pretend to date millionaire Bennett Calloway for ten thousand dollars, so his mother will ease up the pressure on him to find a wife. But once Henley is enmeshed in Bennett's world, he falls for her, and she starts to have feelings for him as well. Despite her romance with Bennett, as she grows closer to the Calloways, Henley realizes they are somehow involved in her brother's conviction. Journeying deeper into a world of wealth and conspiracies, Henley is forced to rely on Bennett, though doing so could cost her everything. [[word count: 200,000-250,000 words]]
