Eugenia Swift, a discerning art historian and director of the Leabrook Glass Museum, finds her refined world upended when she's tasked with cataloging an important art glass collection on the enigmatic Frog Cove Island. Murmurs of foul play surround the collector's recent death, prompting the museum to insist she collaborate with Cyrus Chandler Colfax, a gruff private investigator whose appreciation for art extends little beyond a frosty beer bottle. To infiltrate the tightly knit, art-centric community and uncover the truth, Colfax declares they must pose as a married couple. Eugenia, appalled by his boorish charm and garish Hawaiian shirts, vehemently protests. However, as the stakes rise and a killer's shadow looms over Frog Cove's chic galleries, their very survival hinges on the most unlikely and artful collaboration imaginable. Their fake relationship soon becomes a dangerous dance, where their secret agendas and blossoming connection could either save them or shatter everything into smithereens.
