Opposites attract in this wholesome whodunnit from Jim McCann ( Return of the Dapper Men ) and Joe Eisma ( Morning Glories )!Formerly a high-society darling, Ethan thinks the worst thing he’ll have to contend with over the holidays is the disapproval of his upper-crust parents, but when things go awry on his job protecting the priceless Nobility Diamond, more than just his feelings are put into jeopardy! Now it’s up to his husband Henry (and their adorable cat, Skippy) to put his P.I. skills to good use and clear Ethan’s name. Both men will have to step out of their comfort zones and into their husbands’ shoes to solve the case! Combining the dazzling charm of the Golden Age of Hollywood with modern city living, this story is equal parts wholesome rom-com and thrilling detective story.
