As Valentine's Day drew near, the Flowers of Folly Beach was aflutter with holiday flower orders. Florist Kayla Ballantyne also had her own wedding plans to wait. However, the murder of a wealthy widow may make everything implode as her fiancé's past catches up to him with the arrival of an overbearing FBI agent, his former partner, to investigate. The perennial florist is once again thrown into a murder investigation in the small, southern seaside town of Folly Beach.
Evidence quickly piles up implicating a good friend, and the victim's secret lover, George Phillips. With Ruby Wells' body found covered in dozens of orchids given to her by her amour, the situation looks dire. Adding to the problems is the interference of the victim's own daughter, an aspiring politician known to be rabidly against the relationship.
Despite pleading from her handsome detective fiancé, Kayla plunges into the investigation to help clear their friend and shine the light on the real culprit. Can she save George from the jail cell that looks to be in his future as he loses in the court of public opinion? Can she save her fiancé, Billy, from the hauntings of his FBI past before his former partner twists the knife in his back too far?
