Detective Nathan Winston solves crimes for work, but, when his mother asks him to attend her annual ten-day dinner party, he panics. Nathan tells his mother that he has interest in a lady already and is unavailable for the ladies she has invited, and his mother jumps on the opportunity to invite Nathan’s lady. Now Nathan has to ask Eva (24yo) to accept the invitation and pretend to have an interest in him. Can Detective Nathan discern reality from fiction?
The focus of the story is the romance, but the side story is about one of Nathan’s cases coming back to haunt him – and the party. Allen uses the concurrent plotlines to fill out Nathan and Eva’s story, which give all the characters more depth. While the second in a series, the first one focuses on a different couple and is not necessary to read beforehand in order to enjoy this one.
Eva, Nathan, and their families are English. One character is described as German and another as Swedish, and the other characters are implied English. The mature content rating is for alcohol use and mentions of illegal activity. The violence rating is for gun use, murder, and mention of suicide.
