Opis

Located in the fictional town of Highgate, Mississippi at the turn of the previous century, Hummingbird Inn embodies the southern charm found in the whisper of pearls against silk and the scent of hyacinth mingling with the aroma of freshly baked bread on a cool spring day. Maggie Lace Summerhill, general manager of the family owned Hummingbird Inn, is desperately smitten with Kendrick Charles, a local attorney so incredibly handsome that young girls almost swoon in his presence. He is unfortunately just on the verge of falling under the emerald-eyed spell of Priscilla Hood's exotic beauty. What's a girl to do? Cute but not beautiful, Maggie Lace somehow finds a way to snatch Kendrick right out from under Prissy's nose. But the discovery of a murder victim near Hummingbird Inn soon changes everything. When a kiss is stolen at a local dance by police detective Gray Stone, Maggie finds herself questioning everything she thought she wanted. Equally smitten with the Inn's general manager, Detective Stone finds himself in an uncomfortable position. Rumor has it that Maggie once dated the murdered man, and that she made extensive renovations to Hummingbird Inn shortly after the victim, and fifty thousand dollars, went missing. And her explanation for the source of her recent windfall turns out to be a lie. What secrets is Maggie keeping? And will the detective be able to determine the truth in time to protect her from the shadow that is prowling the halls of Hummingbird Inn?
