Book #1 of the three-book saga of a woman on the run. (This ongoing story continues in "In the Shadows of a Lie", Book #2, and concludes in "Bury Me in Paradise", Book #3.)

How does a wedding planner from Lake Placid, New York end up in the trunk of a Toyota Corolla submerged in a frozen lake near Windham, nearly two hundred miles away? It's easy if you've got two contract killers after you!

Marigold Flowers doesn't understand why anyone would want to kill her. Her specialty is parties, not crime. But there's no denying that someone with a lot of money and significant resources is out to silence her. What secrets does she hold about international money laundering and a criminal syndicate? How can she save herself when she's accused of trying to murder the U. S. marshal in charge of her safety?

Enter the Cornwall brothers. Jackson and Lincoln have some special investigative skills and a talented circle of friends and family that can help untangle Marigold's complicated life. But the vicious villain of this convoluted scheme isn't willing to let her go. They're going to have to work fast to keep Marigold Flowers from being murdered in cold blood.
