Then the shower arrives, and while there's anything but love in the air, there is plenty of cheese. Oh, and Roman ... again. The day officially ends in disaster when Willa finds the groom--who also happens to be the mayor's nephew--in the stable, dead as a dodo. At the mayor's request, Willa must follow the trail of cheese curds to find a killer while continuing to walk a tightrope between two of Sonoma Valley's most powerful families."--Back cover.
