Olive Branches and Family Trees: A Dez Duchiene Mystery, Book 2

Visiting the in-laws is always a challenge, but Dez Duchiene doesn't know what to expect when his husband, Stevie Langford, takes him and their despondent, melodramatic friend Oliver Perez to the Langford family estate in Nashville.

With Stevie's three brothers, two sisters, and widowed mother, new conflicts erupt daily. The eldest brother runs the lucrative family business, a role his sister resents, and tensions simmer over the late patriarch's old-fashioned ideas about family-ideas that likely did not include same-sex marriage.

An accounting scandal, a house explosion, and the sudden appearance of an old college friend create a tempest of trouble that threatens everyone. Dez needs his business savvy, diplomatic skills, and more than a little luck to survive the storm.
