Everything seems to be falling into place when Cara finds the perfect house to round out her new plans. Well ... perfect except for the immovable hermit living on the top floor. She throws caution to the wind and buys the fabulous house-hermit and all-without meeting him. Eventually, by wooing her reclusive renter with notes and mouthwatering meals, he caves and invites her up to the apartment. Preconceived notions are blown out of the water, when she finds Danny isn't the Mr. Mole she envisioned. Unfortunately, phone calls from the FBI bring Cara's summer idyll to an abrupt halt. Will demons from a former life destroy her tranquility?

When fashion crosses the line to felony, the only label left to wear could be a toe tag.The rainbows-and-unicorns period of her friends-to-lovers relationship with Mike Finnegan officially over, Karina Cardinal is taking a tactical retreat. No way is she calling him for rescue from one of her infamous "scrapes." Too bad trouble, if not her middle name, is a close relative. Sadira Manon, friend and colleague of Karina's sister Jillian, has been dropping way too much cash on designer labels for a middle school teacher. Even one who moonlights as a jewelry store clerk. But when she's accused of theft, the loose diamond falling out of her purse is enough for the police to sing the song of their people-"Miranda Rights." Karina, Jilly, and Silverthorne Security join forces to investigate who's setting Sadira up to take a fall, and why. They dig up a shady tangle of Russian mob ties and gambling debts. By the time Karina realizes they've dug too deep-and maybe a little too far outside the law-Jillian's in trouble, and the only way out of this particular pot of hot water is to make that phone call...and hope Mike doesn't let it go to voice mail. International bestselling and award-winning author Ellen Butler presents book three in the Karina Cardinal mystery series! Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum will adore this gripping mystery adventure.

Amazon #1 International Bestseller Curiosity can be a killer After a long week lobbying on Capitol Hill, all Karina Cardinal wants to do is chill with Netflix and her boyfriend, Patrick Dunne. Instead, she's slipping her aching feet into red stilettos for his parents' annual holiday bash. When she accidentally interrupts Patrick's father in his study, her embarrassment is tempered by suspicion that Martin Dunne and his dapper, secretive guest are hiding something. Maybe the painting she barely glimpses right before it disappears behind a secret panel. An internet search raises her curiosity to full-blown alarm. If she's right, Martin is in possession of a stolen masterpiece. Infamous because everyone close to it has turned up dead. As in Mafia-style-execution dead. As she's chewing over which instinct to follow-back off while she still can, or dig deeper for the truth-she crosses paths with FBI agent Mike Finnegan. An old friend and not-quite flame from her college days. When she looks into his warm, mocha eyes, she's tempted to tell him everything. Trouble is, she's already being watched. And the next move she makes could destroy innocent lives...including her own.
