Retired and on the Rocks, Book 1

It's been a month since Denim McHart hung up his private investigating career after he ended up with a bullet in his leg. The injury has forced Den to re-evaluate future goals in his career, his love-life and his spiritual life. To keep himself busy in early retirement, he's been attempting to restore an antique table and he's officially bored. He can't seem to keep his mind off his investigative partner, the lovely and complicated Sylvia Price whom he's had an on-again, off-again romantic relationship with. In this past month, Sylvia has been dealing with her own feelings for Den, her overwhelming guilt for the pivotal event that happened years ago and caused her mother to be mentally unstable. Before the sparks can fly between Den and Sylvia, she says they've got a case. Jilted bride Naomi Deva tells them her groom--Mayor Thomas Julian--dumped her at the altar. The local police department hasn't been able to turn up the 6.1 carat diamond engagement ring.
