Jess Dylan

At the Flower House, you’re as likely to find a killer as a chrysanthemum.

Fortunately, Marissa bucks all stereotypes and is far from a bridezilla—but her wedding planner, Taz Banyan, has apparently taken on the role for himself. But Taz aside, everything seems to be under control … until Sierra makes a startling  
discovery in the great room: the wedding planner, lying in a heap at the bottom of the stairs. He survives only long enough to mutter: “It was the snake.” As Granny Mae would say, seeing a snake is rarely a good sign, and this was clearly no exception. 
 
With the town on edge and the wedding up in the air, Sierra refuses to stop asking questions in her determination to put an end to this latest danger—so both Aerieville and the Flower House can flourish once more.
