Morgan suspects he'll never take his overdue honeymoon with his wife, but a suspicious death at the symphony forces him to use his first responder skills. Trouble follows them from St. Michaels, Florida, to Highlands, North Carolina. When Morgan pulls another dead body from a house fire, he and Annie are stuck in North Carolina until the police sort it out.
Annie suspects her mother's heart attack was murder. As a former math teacher, she's generous and helps a homeless dog and a motherless young woman. Annie's mother taught her to be generous, so she'll help them.
Annie and Morgan, business partners and dog lovers, become amateur sleuths and solve the mystery. By helping those in need, Annie may finally resolve her mother's death.
