Long-buried secrets resurface when a woman returns home for her sister’s lavish resort wedding in the Everglades, where gossiping aunties and Burmese pythons aren’t the only threats, in this suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Matchmaker.

It’s been three years since Hena Mirza saw her family. Three years since her fiancé mysteriously vanished on their wedding day. Three years since everyone decided she was to blame.

When her younger sister, Lulu, calls with shocking news—she’s getting married in forty-eight hours, and their mother is dying—Hena has no choice but to go home. Her plan is simple: slip in, say goodbye, and leave before she reopens old wounds. But nothing about the trip is simple. This isn’t a one-day event. In fact, it’s an eight-day desi wedding with a guest list that eerily mirrors the one from her own failed nuptials. And though unexpected sparks fly with two men in the wedding party—a childhood friend, and a newcomer unfamiliar with her history—the remaining guests quickly make it clear: no one is happy she’s back.

Then Lulu’s carefully planned itinerary goes awry. Hena initially dismisses the strange incidents, but as the days pass and the sabotage escalates, it becomes clear that someone’s determined to destroy the wedding—and make Hena take the fall. To survive this wedding, she’ll have to uncover the culprit behind these attacks . . . before the past she’s tried to outrun finally finds her.
