In the final days before Zoe's wedding to Detective Nick Stiles, a jogger turns up murdered on Zoe's back patio. Nick's brothers have come for the wedding and are staying at her home, and Zoe, now the mother of two--six-year-old Molly and baby Luke--finds evidence that at least one of her future in-laws is not who he pretends to be.
