Pet portrait artist Kiki Long is driving to her first day of work at her new job as the Pride Falls forensic photographer when she spots a smoking car that's skidded off the road.After confirming nobody is inside, her natural inclination to document what she's witnessing takes over and she starts taking pictures, which means she's standing too close when the vehicle explodes. Now she's dealing with a head injury and an irate detective who accuses her of messing up his crime scene. That's nobody's definition of a good first day. But she did do a good job with the photos. They prove that the owner of the car didn't die in the explosion, and they give the ornery detective a place to start his investigation. It's the goat that Kiki saw before she started snapping photos that makes her curious. Despite the detective's dismissal of her idea, she starts her own amateur sleuthing along with her two best friends. Her curiosity just might just get them all...

     In years past, Maggie Lee has not been a fan of Valentine’s Day, but this year, the holiday has warped into its own special hell.     She's stuck working at her aunt’s lingerie shop during the busiest (and cheesiest) time of the year, someone volunteered her to help with the Valentine’s Day party at her niece’s school, and there’s a hitman in town, known as the Cupid Killer.     Maggie is up to her eyeballs in declarations of love, sex toys, and candy hearts, when all she really wants is to chase down leads pertaining to her missing sister.     Can Maggie survive a guy with a bow and arrow, the pain in the butt parents of school kids, and a romantic proposal?     Or will she succumb to her favorite fantasy?     The one where she runs away with her pets.

     You think you've got problems? Don't talk to Maggie Lee about problems.     Her mother's escaped from the loony bin, and rumor has it she's robbing people for ice cream money.     A mob boss is insisting she liberate his daughter from a mental hospital that Maggie's pretty sure she belongs in.     And people keep trying to kill her.     While Maggie deals with all that, she must also contend with her dysfunctional family; the challenges of parenting her orphaned niece; a handsome, but dangerously curious reporter; a hot manny who lives under her roof and gets under her skin; a smooth and sexy con man; and a certain murder mentor/cop redhead. And, honestly, it's getting too much to bear. Good thing she has her talking animals to confide in.     But with everything that's going on, can the intrepid, yet inept, hitwoman figure out how to keep everyone she loves safe without ending up in jail or killed?     Or will she just take up residence in a rubber room herself? Truth be told, she could use the break.
