A spoiled heiress must investigate her grandmother´s death in order to gain back her trust fund, all while discovering how to be her own person and maybe even in falling in love in this rom-com meets murder mystery.
When Pomona Afton, Upper East Side hotel heiress, stumbles out of a gala and upon the scene of her grandmother´s murder, her first thought is that the society queen won´t be missed for her kind, cookie-baking ways. In fact, she was mean, greedy, and paranoid--so paranoid that she secretly slipped a clause into her will mandating that, should she die an unnatural death, all the family assets get frozen. And if the "unnatural death" isn´t explained? Those accounts stay frozen.
Practically overnight, Pomona is locked out of her penthouse with no other option than to move in with a roommate: Gabe, the irritable (yet handsome) son of her former nanny. Not only is his apartment cramped, but it doesn´t even have a doorman. Or a chef! Pom needs someone to solve this murder, like, yesterday, so she can get her trust fund back.
And Gabe? He needs this murder solved because that´s the only way his mother, who toiled for the Afton family for years, will ever get the retirement money she deserves. As Pom´s family clams up, blocking the police at every turn, Pom quickly realizes that if she wants her glamorous life back, she´s going to have to put on her big-girl Manolos and do it herself...with the help of Gabe, who she´s falling for more and more by the day.
Can Pomona Afton (who previously couldn´t solve a crossword in the bath on a hungover Sunday) actually solve this murder? And if she does return to her former life of luxury, will it be worth the possibility of losing Gabe?
