Indigo Tea Shop owner Theodosia Browning is finally invited to a social event that she doesn't have to cater--but there's more than champagne bubbling.

Theo is mingling with the cream of Charleston society at the engagement soiree of the season. But as they eagerly await the dazzling young couple's arrival--the groom meets with a freak accident. The exquisite wedding ring--a family heirloom from the crown of Marie Antoinette--is mysteriously missing. Theodosia suspects that trouble is brewing. But when she goes to the authorities, they treat her like she's been reading tea leaves--and that's the surest way to put Theodosia's kettle on the boil.
