In her first thrilling romantic adventure, Laura Black is an investigator for a highly successful Scottsdale law firm run by slightly shady Lenny Shapiro. She's hot on the trail of con-man Alexander Sternwood. It sounded like an easy case until she was kidnapped by a couple of upset Russian hitmen, then by two seriously psychotic brothers, then finally by Tough Tony DiCenzo, head of the largest crime family in Scottsdale. To top it off, she's found a dead body that seems to be a message directed toward her. Now, with the help of ex-cop Gina Rondinelli, a stripper named Danica, and her best friend Sophie, Laura needs to make sure that a slightly illegal international jewel sale goes smoothly, or else.

All of this pales in comparison, though, with an even greater danger. Laura has decided that now would be the perfect time to get back together with her old boyfriend, Jackson Reno, who just happens to be a Scottsdale detective. The only hitch in her plans for romance is Maximilian, a gorgeous crime lieutenant who has his sights set on Laura. Craziness, romance, and more than a bit of danger are in store when Laura Black and her Scottsdale friends are on the case.

"A great chick-lit mystery with plenty of humor. I love a strong female lead who gets herself into crazy situations only to have a hot guy come to her rescue. This is a must-read."

"This is a fun, easy read. The characters have quirky and fun attitudes. I don't think you will be disappointed."
