Summary

Dismissed from the rear palace, Maomao returns to service in the outer court—as the personal serving woman to none other than Jinshi! That doesn’t necessarily make her popular with the other ladies, but a bit of jealousy might be the least of her problems. A mysterious warehouse fire, an official with a very bad case of food poisoning, and the mysterious last will and testament of a deceased craftsman all demand her attention—but are these cases really separate, or do they share a troubling connection? Then there’s the mysterious military man who continually visits Jinshi. He’s strange, maybe even a little twisted... and he seems very interested in Maomao.

    The grass is greener on the darker side … 
     
    The grass is greener at Lush Meadows Golf and Country Club these days but that was not always the case. When Preston and Amy Meadows inherited the club, it was in shambles and so was their relationship. By happenstance, Amy discovers a solution that not only saved the club but her marriage as well. Under the guise of her foundation, Meadows Mission, Amy facilitated a program that lessened the homeless population, while simultaneously building up the club. Together, Amy and Preston reclaim their position in Atlanta’s high society as southern aristocracy.  
     
    But something isn’t right at the club and the answer is blowing in the wind.  
     
    Former police detective, Blayke Ladd, who now runs Off the Street Shelter, suspects Meadows Mission is engaging in unethical business practices the reason they report such a high success rate. However, he has witnessed the change in some of the clients that he referred to the program and cannot discount the organization’s legitimacy. But when a client asks for a recommendation to the program, he agrees reluctantly.  
     
    Jasmine Aster is not only a client of Blayke’s, but also a woman he has come to care about. After she is offered a lucrative position at the country club, he is filled with mixed emotions. All is well for the beautiful landscaping engineer until she befriends a woman who has damning information that can destroy the Meadowsempire in less time than it took to build it. The woman needs help and the only person Jasmine trusts enough to help her is, Blayke. While Jasmine and Blayke work hard to uncover the deception, Amy works vigilantly to conceal the truth.  
     
    The southern belle will do anything to maintain the lifestyle she was born into and save her life, even at the expense of someone else’s.
