Fashion designer Jeremy St. James is everything Laura Carnegie could want in a man. He’s gorgeous, rich, and talented.

A garment show in a week, late hours, working on the weekends, and then a dead body shows up. Oh no…..a very unwelcome setback. Jeremy was the one who was standing over Gracie when Laura walked into the office that Sunday morning. Could he have killed her or just found her on the floor with a s...
