Dating is hard…
Single mom Maggie Hayes puts up a tough front to hide her
loneliness, spending her days in the courtroom as a lawyer and her evenings as
a closet video gamer. Another heartache isn’t worth the risk, not after her
husband left her last year for a Hooters waitress. When she decides to try
dating again, a cute video game-designing nerd seems like a safe bet….Until he
becomes the prime suspect in a murder.
But falling in love can be murder…
Jeremy Rogers makes a good living designing video games, but
nothing prepares him for the real world adventure of being accused of poisoning
his own employee. Add in falling for a sassy attorney with a competitive
ex-husband, a clingy blonde coworker, and a mammoth-size dog that eats his
furniture. Suddenly fighting off a screen full of zombies or preventing an
alien invasion seems like child’s play.
Game over!
Maggie and Jeremy find themselves embroiled in a game of death
threats, lies, and betrayal. Maggie must learn to trust again while playing the
most dangerous game of all. Because defeat could mean not only losing her
heart, but also her life…
Revisit the quaint Colorado town of Pleasant Valley and sit in
with the Page Turners Book Club, a group of book-loving women who double as
extremely amateur detectives. Join them as they set out to help their friend,
while devouring good literature and some really great desserts.
“Hey, gals,” Maggie said on a rush of air as Edna threw her arms
around her in a theatrical embrace. Maggie gave her a quick squeeze, the smell
of lavender and vanilla filling the air as she nestled her chin in the cloud of
Edna’s silver curls. Mabel reached out and squeezed Maggie’s hand.
Jeremy seemed to be
pleased by the appearance of the two geriatric Nancy Drews, but Maggie’s eyes
narrowed with suspicion at Edna. “It’s amazing how you always seem to be in the
middle of whatever excitement is going on.”
Edna shrugged and gave
her a look of mock innocence. “You know me, honey, if there’s a pile of trouble
somewhere, I’ll find a way to step in it.”
Mabel cackled at Edna’s
joke, then her laugh turned into a phlegmy smoker’s cough, and Edna turned to
slap her on the back. “You’ve got to give up those cancer sticks,” she said in
between slaps.
“Ahh, bite me,” wheezed
Mabel. “I’m gonna die anyway.”
Ignoring the drama of
the elderly women, Maggie pulled on Edna’s sleeve. “Who is that guy you were
talking to? And what did you find out?” Regardless of her knack for finding
trouble, Edna was good at ferreting out information and could usually be
counted on to know the inside scoop.
“Do they know what happened to Jim?” Jeremy absently rubbed his
tiny grandmother’s back, used to her frequent coughing fits.
Edna whipped out her notebook, holding it within inches of her
nose. “Well, I haven’t had a chance to gather too much information, since we
just got here and they won’t let us too close to the crime scene. I’m sure
they’re dusting for prints and gathering DNA evidence. The evidence always tells
the true story, you know.”
“OMG,” Maggie said, mimicking one of her son’s favorite terms. She
tried to control her eyes from rolling into the back of her head as she
listened to Edna’s CSI-esque interpretation of the scene. “What do you actually
know?”
Edna huffed and lowered her voice. “Well, we know a man was
murdered here.”
“Oh my gosh. You think? Maybe you should open your own ladies’
detective agency.”
