Aspiring author Jess is in Durango, Colorado, helping her great aunt recover after surgery. While Jess is considering what she wants to do with her life, she meets Mark, a handsome local reporter, and Jess decides to volunteer at the Durango Writing Groups writing conference with him. When Cassie Fox, a local author whose blockbuster book is being turned into a movie, returns to Durango as the feature speaker, she brings an entire entourage and a trunkful of drama to the event. As the driver for the star author, Jess gets a first-hand view behind the scenes of the conference. She's also the one to find Cassie dead at the opening ceremony. Working with Mark to write and publish her first article is an exciting distraction, but when she stumbles over a compromising situation, Jess realizes her responsibility doesn't end with discovering a dead body. If she isn't careful, she might end up the next target of the killer.
