FBI Agent Bill Hart needs a wife for a week. Stewardess Patty Byrne agrees to be one. Posing as his blushing bride at a veterans’ reunion in Hawaii, Patty doesn't expect how easily she slips into the role of Bill’s wife and how little pretending it takes.

A killer has spent years quietly hunting the platoon members. When the guest of honor is found dead, the celebration turns to suspicion, and it becomes clear the murder is tied to something in the men’s past.

While Bill investigates the platoon members, Patty works the wives, trading cocktails and conversation for secrets. But the more gossip she uncovers, the more she realizes their beloved war hero wasn’t the man everyone thought he was, and more than one person at the reunion had reason to want him dead.

With a murderer still among them and the clock ticking, Patty and Bill have only days to uncover the truth—before the whole platoon scatters home, and the killer vanishes with them.
