Book excerpt: Between hot flashes and divorce papers, a middle-aged woman considers her outlook on life when she butts heads with a hot detective during a murder investigation. When Cece Cavanaugh's husband empties their joint bank account, steals her designer luggage, and runs off with a younger woman, Cece must decide whether to ask her manipulative mother-in-law for a handout or get a job. Choosing the easier path, Cece lands a job cleaning a crime scene where a high school coach was murdered. When his wife is implicated—a young woman Cece practically raised—Cece finds herself mopping floors, balancing an empty checkbook, and ferreting out a killer. Amid all this messy business, Cece bumps heads with a handsome detective. She tries to ignore her growing attraction to the detective, but he gives new meaning to the term "hot flash." After she stumbles onto a clue that could vindicate her friend, her elation turns to panic when she haphazardly confronts the killer. Through the danger and romance, Cece discovers self-reliance and inner strength. And that crime—at least, someone else's—does pay the bills.

Her plan for a quick escape from the venue is thwarted when she discovers a body and a garden full of suspects, including her former mother-in-law. With the Cavanaugh name in danger of being dragged through the Wickford rumor mill, Cece’s ex reluctantly asks her to investigate the suspicious death and put the gossip to rest. Cece agrees . . . if he’ll pay off her van and save her housekeeper’s job. The new detective in Wickford and missed phone calls from her boyfriend, Alder, create more trouble for Cece as she questions suspects and gathers clues—not just for the murder, but trying to figure out what is up with her missing boyfriend and his elusive voice mails. Every moment is precious, because the longer it takes for Cece to clear the family name, the more likely her ex is to back out of their deal. In a desperate attempt to end Cece’s snooping, the killer sets a trap to silence her. Will Cece’s hope for justice and a paid-off van go up in flames?

Book excerpt: Jason Starke, the Iceman, was at the pinnacle of his success. His technique on the ice was without equal. Privately, he knew that his skill was polished perfection but an emotional wasteland.He needed more. He would have it. Years before, he had seen a prodigy on the ice, a phenom who had lit up the skating world, a meteor that blazed across the ice and then was gone as quickly as she had come. Diana Diamond had escaped the world of competitive skating. The unrelenting demands of her coaches had destroyed the joy of skating for her. Instead, she used her skill and talent to create world-class programs for other skaters. As a choreographer she made the rules, choose those with whom she worked. The joy of skating was hers again and she fiercely guarded that need and that emotion. Pippa knew of Jason’s need to achieve more for himself than just technique and skill without emotion. She knew too how stubborn he could be when he got an idea in his head. He was building a skating complex, teaching, and training facility for young skaters. He wanted Diana Diamond to handle the choreography for the facility. Pippa had followed Diana’s career and the major change she had made from competitive skating to choreography. She understood the courage and the determination of such a switch had taken. Jason had more than met his match and he wasn’t having the success he expected. Maybe she needed a short vacation in Denver. She had finished her latest book and she deserved a reward. Besides, Pippa had to check out Jason’s progress, didn’t she? Plus, she really wanted to meet the young woman she admired. Two birds, one stone. If she managed to help Jason that was just an added benefit.

Book excerpt: Ever hiss did the blade twist up from the boggy marsh and the feeling did pass. Swords and great spears kissed the blue streets, thrown or dropped as the broken stuck from out the ice held path and roadways along their fallen tribesmen. A light not meant for old men gave the shadow its course to glint and then fade away. This ripple of blue fluttering thought was far better or worse than any ghost between his father's cryptic speeches and like that nothing that always listened to such order was the thought back to his sunflowers and Edmund would be his hope this day. Only her dreams held electric to the fading wind, such to foretell the fog of this simple farmer and his path as it set before them only to the roaming road of the old marsh, far from those dreadful graves of this dying land. Sorrow into the one day in a dying eye of the sparrow and Edmund would promise to never take from this again as such innocence held to experiment, he knew well what he did to this tree.
