Cozy danger, crackling humor, and holiday-heart stakes.
On Christmas Eve in New Orleans, Dan Baker and Gemma Bailey are moments from saying ‘I do’ when family chaos—and a few very dangerous surprises—threaten to crash their winter-ish wedding. Equal parts Hallmark warmth and Die Hard tension, this romp delivers sharp wit, noir-tinged suspense, and a big, messy family that makes every scene both hilarious and heartfelt.
A New Orleans Christmas Wedding Gone Wrong
Dan and Gemma want a perfect, cozy wedding—until the Baker Clan arrives, old enemies show up with grudges, and someone with a grudge brings mayhem instead of mistletoe. Set against the swampy, soulful backdrop of New Orleans, the ceremony becomes a battleground of secrets, past trauma, and improvised heroics as the couple fights to keep their vows and each other.
Pauline Baird Jones fuses noir-tinged suspense, razor-sharp dialogue, and holiday heart to create a story that’s as likely to make you laugh as it is to make you reach for a tissue. If you love romantic suspense with a family-first core, festive chaos, and a distinctive New Orleans flavor, this latest Big Uneasy installment is written just for you.
Can love—and a very loud family—survive bullets, secrets, and Christmas surprises?
