Special Agent Laci Duvall, AFOSI, expects her life to be like her favorite beverage. Sweet and strong. So, what happens when someone throws a lemon in her sweet tea? She finds who did it and gets even. But fate drops a twisted tea bag when lead investigator and Charm City Heartthrob, Baltimore City Police Detective Antonio Desio walks into the room. He’s the one Laci abandoned to marry the dead man before them, and he bypasses tea for fine Italian wine. This case has the markings of a guzzling sweet tea straight-from-the-pitcher kind of day, and Laci and Desio learn they have to work together to solve it. She’ll deal with her feelings for Desio later.
