After a dry spell, freelance writer Jaine Austen's life is suddenly
full of romance. For one thing, she's reconnected with her ex--though
her cat, Prozac, isn't happy about it. And Jaine's also got a new
ghostwriting gig, working on a steamy novel called Fifty Shades of
Turquoise . . .
Daisy Kincaid is in her sixties and heiress to a fortune. Now she wants
to make a name for herself as a romance author . . . with a little help
from Jaine, that is. As Jaine labors away on love scenes, she gets to
know the wealthy woman's gentleman friend, her household staff, and her
social circle--every one of whom is horrified when Daisy falls under the
spell of a much younger stud named Tommy, a rude, crude lothario who's
made himself a fixture in Daisy's Bel Air mansion.
After Tommy and Daisy shock everyone by announcing their engagement, it
doesn't take long for someone to stab him in the neck--with the solid
gold Swiss Army knife that Daisy gave him as a gift. The challenging
part is trying to narrow down the list of suspects. Jaine's going to
have to put a bookmark in that love story and focus all her creative
talent into untangling a tale of money and murder . . .
