Shock and Paw

Cate Conte

It's the holiday season on Daybreak Island, and Maddie James is looking forward to stepping out of the limelight, watching the island's Christmas decoration competition from afar, spending time with her boyfriend and family, running tours for visitors as part of the festivities, and spreading holiday cheer through cute cats in jingle bell collars. 
 
 
 
But trouble hits close to home when word gets out that Donna Carey, the publisher of the island's only daily newspaper where Maddie's best friend Becky is editor, may be selling the business. Becky is a diehard journalist and to her, selling the only newspaper on the island is a fate worse than death. She publicly opposes the potential sale, wreaking havoc on her relationship with her big boss. 
 
 
 
Maddie is sympathetic, but she has her own problems—like getting pulled into a role on the Christmas event committee despite her best efforts to stay far removed, and solving the case of a mysterious cat breeder trying to sell expensive designer cats as holiday gifts on the island. But then Donna winds up dead—electrocuted by her own Christmas decorations—and it appears to be more than an accident. To make matters worse, Becky becomes suspect number one. Maddie is thrown into another murder investigation in order to save her best friend from a Christmas behind bars.

Like Cooper's iconic Rupert Campbell-Black, Jack is the quintessential bad boy you can't help but love - a man who plays as hard as he works. But where Cooper's heroes are purely British country aristocrats, Jack is a more dangerous, international creature. He's equally at home drinking vodka with Russian oligarchs in Moscow nightclubs as he is thundering across African plains on horseback or closing million-dollar deals in Manhattan. 
The novel sizzles with illicit affairs, pulse-pounding adventure, and eye-watering wealth. There's the wild years in America with Mexican heiresses and Kennedy connections, the adrenaline-fueled polo matches with Kerry Packer's elite teams, and the notorious basement flat in Notting Hill that becomes legendary in certain circles. All this while Jack builds a digital empire and navigates the treacherous waters of London high society.
