    “After all the times my mom told me to save for a rainy day…Who would’ve thought the rainy day would come in the form of a dead guy named Donnie?” 
      
    Roxy Horne is a process server—not that tracking down people and giving them paperwork is her life dream—but it feeds her cake obsession. Oh, and it pays the bills. Her dream of being a Private Investigator is far out of reach. But never once, even when serving to a slime ball who wouldn’t pay child support, did she expect to find a dead body. Now her life is crazier than the cacti being launched at her car. 
    There is an upside. While serving a subpoena she’s connected with her high school infatuation, Rafe Amato. If the name doesn’t tell you how hot the man is, his abs will do it. All ten of them. Rafe might be an ex-cop, but his mind hasn’t gotten the memo. He thinks like a cop, he acts like a cop, and he annoys her like a cop. Her upside doesn’t feel so up anymore. 
    When the Las Vegas Police name her suspect number one, Roxy is inches away from losing her job, her home, and her freedom. She needs help. And she’ll take any help she can find—even if it comes from the man who drives her crazy one mile at a time.

    Doctor Rowena Halley hits rock bottom. Then she ends up on a terrorist hit list. 
    August 2016. Rowena Halley, PhD, is nursing a busted knee and a busted heart. Plus, her career path is on a toilet trajectory and the divisive politics of a particularly fraught election cycle are threatening to bust up her family, too. Then Madison, former student, (former???) drug addict, and troublemaker extraordinaire, comes bursting back into her life. 
    Rowena is afraid Madison will get her hauled in on drug and kidnapping charges. But the reality is even more dangerous. Madison has been digging into her family history. She’s unearthed a sordid story of Nazi collaboration in Eastern Europe. It’s not just in the past, either. Members of her family are carrying on the tradition, now using sophisticated social media tools to spread their message, and they want to bring Madison into the fold. 
    To make things even more fun, Rowena’s ex-fiancé, Russian investigative journalist Dima Kuznetsov, has riled up some very unpleasant mercenaries from the Caucasus. If she’s not careful, Rowena could end up in the crosshairs of both groups. 
    All this is forcing Rowena to undertake a serious review of her life choices. But even if she decides to change her life, it may be too late to save it. 
    NB: This book, like all the books in the series, contains some serious adult language. You’ve been warned!
