Veronika Layne Gets the Scoop

Julia Park Tracey

Veronika Layne is a sassy, tattooed forty-something (okay, forty-nine) newspaper reporter who never saw herself working for a big corporation. When her small town weekly paper is swallowed up by Singh Media Group, that's exactly what happens. Further complicating her job, a sexy new reporter has been hired from the competing paper, and while he's terribly attractive, he remains the competition. But the fantasies won't stop and her best friend and fellow reporter Aiden is even starting to notice. Stuck writing fluff pieces that might as well be ads, Veronika can't resist digging into rumors that a local real estate developer is destroying Native American burial grounds. Warned away at every turn by her editor, who is not a supporter of investigative journalism nor a fan of social justice pieces, Veronika worries that her story will never see the light of day. And who knows what trouble these fantasies of a midlife romance with her competitor will cause her—especially with Aiden? This is the first in the three-book Hot off the Press series.
