Trouble always comes to those who court it. Rose Gardner's ability to see glimpses of the future has gotten her into hot water time and again, but so have her curiosity and her sense of daring. Those very qualities helped her defeat the most powerful man in Arkansas--a man so adept at hiding his crimes there was no way to defeat him inside the law--but her success came at a steep personal price. Now she's throwing herself into her landscaping business, trying to live a life as orderly as one of her gardens. Rose's best friend, Neely Kate, is struggling with her own losses, so when she suggests they help a local man find a missing necklace, Rose agrees. It will give them both a welcome distraction, and besides, it's a simple investigation. What harm could befall them? But things which should be simple rarely are. In seeking out the necklace, Rose and Neely Kate find themselves in the thick of a power struggle in the Fenton County underworld, one which could dethrone Rose's friend James Malcolm, the surprisingly moral king. The last thing Rose should do is court more trouble, but she's not the type to step away from a friend in need--and she's also not so sure she wants an orderly life after all.
