June Bell plans weddings at Blackwater House, a restored river hotel known for candlelit ceremonies and whispered scandals. During the most expensive wedding of the season, the bride vanishes between the vows and the first dance, leaving her veil in the old smokehouse and blood on the hem.
June needs the wedding to succeed to save her business. Instead, she must work with the bride's brother, a quiet prosecutor, to uncover why the bride chose Blackwater House, why June's mother once fled the property, and why the river keeps returning things that were meant to stay sunk.
