Sometimes good fortune brings along romance... and danger. 
 
After the sudden death of Mrs. York, Abby inherits a great deal of money and Ivy, her employee, receives the woman's house. This good fortune creates suspicion when the authorities determine Mrs. York was murdered. Ivy discovers several diaries in her new house, penned by Mrs. York, which expose secrets in the old woman's past. Will the diaries vindicate Abby and Ivy, or make matters worse?
 
The ladies at the salon welcome a nail tech named Poppy, whose personality and wild clothing choices suit her name. But when something changes in Poppy's  attitude, Abby must find the answer in order to bring peace back to her salon.

    They call him Keeper, but lately Jack Marconi has specialized in losing things. Just last year, he lost his wife in a mysterious traffic accident, and ever since, he's felt like he's losing his mind. As the warden of the maximum security Green Haven Prison, home to 2,500 of New York's most hardened criminals, Marconi can't afford to drop focus, even for an instant. But he's been slipping up on the job, and he's tormented by flashbacks to the Attica uprising. All of which makes him ripe for the role of patsy when a convicted cop killer named Eduardo Vasquez stages a daring breakout on his watch. 
     
     
     
    From the start, Marconi suspects an inside job. What he doesn't suspect is that he'll become the target of a frame-up. Soon drugs are planted in Marconi's office, embarrassing photos are circulated, and he finds himself facing trumped-up charges of obstruction of justice. With his supervisors clearly setting him up to take the fall, Marconi hatches a desperate scheme to clear his name. Kidnapping the escaped killer's girlfriend, he arms himself with a .45 and takes off in pursuit of Vasquez—and the truth. 
     
     
     
    Once sworn to uphold the law, Marconi will have to elude it if he wants to bring this conspiracy to light. Otherwise Keeper could lose everything: his job, his reputation—and even his life.
