Five months have passed since Jessie, Charlie and Ed made a dent in Joe Notto\u2019s criminal empire and sent him to prison. And, to her gratification, Jessie hasn't killed anyone! She and Charlie are enjoying their sleuthing partnership at D.C. Investigations, and Ed and Jessie are full into a steamy sexual relationship, despite her lingering love for Charlie.

However, when their friend Mr. Fang hires D.C Investigations to solve the cold case disappearance of his wife, Jessie lands on the radar of the Black Lotus tong, a very dangerous Chinese crime organization in Toronto. Once again, her life is threatened by powerful gangsters, and her sleuthing intersects with Ed\u2019s investigations for the Department of Justice, much to his frustration. A violent war may be brewing between Black Lotus and a new, mysterious tong that is spreading its tentacles from Vancouver into Toronto. As Jessie will soon discover, there's a stunning link between the case of Fang\u2019s missing wife and these dangerous syndicates. And in the midst of it all, she is hired by Charlie\u2019s fianc\u00e9e Celeste to protect a shocking secret. The worst part of it is that Jessie knows this secret will devastate Charlie, but she is painfully caught in the middle.

With her characteristic humour, determination and nerve, Jessie Witthun is going to get to the bottom of things, just hopefully not by being dangled out a fifth-floor window!<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Finally! Jessie and Charlie have jumped into a romantic relationship with both feet, and life is looking rosy, but nothing ever stays uncomplicated for long in Jessie\u2019s Universe. Her sister Jeanie comes to town with big dreams and a whole lot of sexual charisma. Dickie adds an unexpected member to the Cameron clan, putting them all in the sights of a group of thieves. And, worst of all, the man Jessie hoped never to see again is back, and he\u2019s not happy.
\n\n\n\n
The criminal landscape of Toronto the Good is about to undergo a seismic change, and the Witthun sisters and the Camerons may not survive the shift.

Wedding bells are going to ring for Jessie Witthun and Charlie Cameron, but their summer in Toronto is\u00a0about to heat up, and not in a good way! Irena Kov\u00e1cs, the snooty receptionist at Jessie's favourite salon, pulls DC Investigations into a dangerous mystery with its roots in the hotbed of European politics. A sexy and\u00a0enigmatic stranger with impossible biceps and a talent for showing up where he wasn't invited moves in downstairs. In a dark twist,\u00a0the circus comes to town, but it quickly becomes the deadliest\u00a0show on Earth for Jessie and Charlie. And, on top of everything else that might derail her wedding day, Jessie's sister Jeanie returns\u00a0with a shocking announcement. From Hanover to Toronto to Niagara Falls, Jessie is up against homicidal Hungarians, a stray lion, and now her new nemesis--none other than Rocco Perri, Joe Notto's successor and the self-proclaimed King of the Bootleggers.

Jessie Witthun really is trying to be a better person, but the Universe always seems to have other plans for her!
\n
Just weeks after their very eventful wedding, a whole new host of problems is crashing down on Jessie and Charlie. Their young friend Robert Fang becomes the target of a gang of hoodlums. Jessie honours a promise that may ruin her friendship with Hsin Fang. In the meantime, things go very wrong in Buffalo. Jessie and Charlie head to Hal Bishop\u2019s mansion to support Jeanie and her husband Skunk, but the calamity they encounter there leaves them absolutely stunned. Under cover of night, they flee for their very lives! Ex-beau Ed Wright is back in the picture, as they desperately turn to him and his team of RCMP lawmen for help, but it turns out that even tough-as-nails Ed can be outwitted. As they discover more and more about the brilliant deviousness of their enemy, they must make a terrifying decision, and Jessie is forced to face a brutal test.
