This box set includes Dog Collar Crime, Knocked Off, Limbo and Boosted. Dog Collar Crime
Dog walking seemed like an innocent job... but the mob has its paws in everything.
Lucie Rizzo, investment banker. Status: unemployed.
It's a hard fall from grace for Lucie to move back in with her mother until she lands on her feet again. Everything she did before was to get as far away as possible from her mob-infested family.
Still, Lucie's determined to make things work. She begins with a part-time gig walking dogs for wealthy clients, and it inspires her to start her own pet accessory line. Frankie Falcone, her smoking-hot ex, wants to start again as if they never stopped. He's no stranger to family ties with "the Family," either, but she's hardly one to throw stones.
What does concern Lucie is the kidnappings.
Well, petnappings. Someone local is abducting innocent dogs, and all of them belong to her upper-crust clients.
One pilfered pooch is bad enough. Three is a pattern. At this rate, Lucie will be out of business in days and on the ASPCA's Most Wanted list. Unless she solves the mystery herself -- and sends the dogjacking culprits straight to the pound.
Knocked Off
Being stuck in the old neighborhood is the last thing reluctant mob princess Lucie Rizzo wants. With her new business on the verge of success -- bada bing! -- she's ready to go from unemployed to entrepreneur. Lucie's determined to make a name for herself. One not tarnished by her dad's mobster rep.
So when an art deal she brokered between clients turns suspicious, it's up to Lucie to uncover the truth. She might not know the difference between Monet and Manet, but Rizzos are no strangers to jail time -- and Lucie refuses to be someone's prison bitch. Unless that someone is a tall, blond and Irish cop.
Detective Tim O'Brien might be on the wrong side of the law by Rizzo standards, but everything about him is oh-so-right. He's not shy about making Lucie feel wanted, mafia ties and all. Even joining her crack -- or crackpot -- team on the trail of two paintings with equally shady origins.
Limbo
Lucie Rizzo's life is... complicated. She's worked hard to grow a legit business and leave behind the mob princess reputation. Now her mobster father is on parole, making things awkward at home -- especially with her detective boyfriend. And thanks to an inescapable penchant for trouble, Lucie keeps stumbling into the wrong crime at the wrong time.
But what could go wrong at a dog show? It's the perfect venue for Lucie to score visibility for her brand -- and some quality time with sexy Irish cop, Tim O'Brien. Until her favorite client is snatched by a mystery woman. This broad messed with the wrong hot-blooded family! No one steals from a Rizzo, and Lucie and her zany sidekicks will do anything to take back what's theirs.
Boosted
Mob princess turned entrepreneur Lucie Rizzo knows that when you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up. Despite her family's unshakable criminal reputation, Lucie's new business is booming. And for once her love life isn't far behind. Lucie devotes her days to building the Coco Barknell brand, but her nights are all about roguishly sexy Tim O'Brien. At least they will be if she and Detective O'Hottie finally take their relationship to the next level.
But bring an Irish cop home to her mobster father? Fuggetaboutit.
Then Lucie's knack for finding trouble lands her in hot water -- and the six o'clock news. Someone's absconded with a million-dollar piece of cinematic costume history, with Lucie the only witness to the crime. Not to mention the prime suspect. To clear her name, she'll need an assist from her entire wacky crew: friends, family... and future (hopefully) lover.
