True Love with Baggage : The Demesne Saga

Inspector Joe Hardy of the San Francisco Police Department is not liked by his superiors. Thirty-eight, cynical, and devoid of prospects for a happy future, he solves cases, probably drinks too much, and gets along the best he can. So when he is given a "special assignment" to provide security for a high society wedding and the priceless necklace that is involved, he knows it's punishment. But he does not know that he will meet a woman he hasn't even dreamed existed. Perdita Barrymore, daughter of a wealthy family and not the sort of woman Joe has ever known, is perfect for him, but they both come with baggage.

Follow Joe Hardy into Napa Valley and the rarefied air of big money as he tries to navigate the unfamiliar waters of possible love, life changing events, and a cast of unbelievable characters that keep him on his toes. And, he must deal with Nora Swank, a caustic writer of chick lit romances, a pair of flighty identical twins, and underworld toughs who make life interesting.
