"More gauze than grit... more Stephanie Plum than Philip Marlowe."
- The Thrilling Detective Website

A deadbeat dad, a French flirt, and a meddling ex. Lora Weaver's foray into the PI biz is in for a bumpy start!

Lora Weaver follows romance from New York to Montreal expecting to find a touch of Paris in North America -- cobblestone streets, sidewalk cafés, fabulous shopping, and a little joie de vivre. Not dangerous liaisons.

But when she takes a job at a PI agency run by a French brother and sister team, her life takes on more twists and turns than a Cirque du Soleil show.

Her latest brush with danger kicks off the case of Piedro "Puddles" Bellinni -- a deadbeat dad whose disappearance is linked to a little girl, a socialite about to inherit a fortune, and a would-be thug whose ego ends up nearly as dented as his car.

Amid car chases and stakeouts, Lora also juggles office antics and an unexpected houseguest -- a meddlesome, flirty old friend of her live-in boyfriend Adam.

Can Lora find Puddles, solve the case, and set things right at home before her first foray into the PI biz becomes her last?

With a cast of characters that includes bestie Camille Caron -- a French PI with sharp boots, an even sharper tongue, and whose confidence and poise come from knowing how to drop a man twice her size -- and her brother Laurent, an ex-cop and hockey hottie, The First Faux Pas blends cozy crime with romantic frisson and a splash of French charm in this fast-paced, rom-com mystery romp.
