adventurous!

As Lucky's romance with Jean-Charles heats up there's unwanted complications like murder, Mona, Teddie, and a prized truffle. With a culinary twist, Lucky & Romeo try to get to the bottom of the homicides and newfangled technology following food shipments. Add in the beautiful Jeremy Whitlock & the Big Boss and it's a recipe for disaster. Another fantastic whodunit & a side of romance with a few surprises. It is Vegas baby!
