To Have and to Hold — Sunni Jeffers

Kate and Paul have no clue what they have committed to when they agree to provide premarital counseling for a wealthy young Copper Mill woman and her fiancé. Jessica Mackenzie and Trace Jackson are deeply in love and have plans to pay cash for a modest house with Jessica's trust fund. But when Jessica's check bounces and her trust fund is nearly emptied, the couple's dream of buying a home are crushed. Jessica asks Kate to help her solve the mystery, and in no time Kate realizes the money was stolen. Worse, Kate is sure the crime was committed by someone who knows Jessica… and knows her well. Suddenly those closest to Jessica -- her stepmother, her cousin, and even her fiancé -- become suspects, and everyone's faith is shaken. Jessica's benevolent father doubts Trace, and encourages his daughter to call off the wedding. Tensions run high, and fingers point in every direction, and Kate hardly knows how to investigate the missing money without worsening the family's crisis. Relying on constant prayer and her knack for character judgement, Kate sets out to solve the mystery before the wedding is canceled and the family is torn apart.
