Crafts and Life

After Simone Ryan is stood up at the altar by her fiancé, Elliott, she decides to enjoy her would-be honeymoon in paradise alone. She checks into the Aloha Lagoon Resort's bridal suite and promptly begins to drown her sorrows in champagne. But when Simone steps out onto the balcony to take in the glorious Hawaiian scenery, she gets an even better view. Hot local baker, Liam Bentley, is out for a stroll on the beach. Maybe being single isn't so bad after all.

But when Elliott makes a surprise appearance at the resort—with a younger woman in tow—things turn deadly, and suddenly Simone finds herself not in the role of newlywed but prime murder suspect! Fighting for her life—not to mention her dignity—Simone must uncover secrets from her ex-fiancé's past which may just have killer consequences for her own future. With the help of the ever-so-tempting Liam, his feisty grandmother, and the quirky Aloha Lagoon staff, Simone finds herself tracking down a murderer who may just be closer to home than she thinks…

Simone was literally left at the altar but she decides to bury her chagrin and go on her honeymoon in any case! When she arrives she discovers that her fiancé has emptied her bank account and maxed out her credit card … buying two tickets to the same resort for himself and Simone's bosses daughter! After a stand up row where she really lets rip into Elliott she has a problem the next morning when alongside a huge hangover she also finds out that she is the prime suspect in Elliott's killing! Oh and the resort no longer wants her staying there – luckily a hunky baker is prepared to be her Knight in Shining Armour and takes her under his wing – and is prepared to help track down who DID kill the rat who stood Simone up.
