A comedy suspense novel set in New Orleans. Luci Seymour - sexy & free spirited - returns to steamy New Orleans in search of the father she's never met. She finds murder, mayhem, love and adventure when her timing puts her directly in the sights of an elderly hit couple and a con man's last scam. Luci’s family has two rules for living. One, never fall in love. Two, never get married. Her mother broke rule one when she had Luci, but she stayed true to rule two and didn’t marry Luci’s father. Or tell her who he was. A wedding gives her cover to return to New Orleans and try to find out who he was. She didn’t count on her very eccentric aunts trying to stop her. She didn’t count on someone trying to kill her. She knows she’s been annoying back in Wyoming, but as far she knows, she hasn’t ticked off anyone in New Orleans. Well, except for one, kind of high maintenance homicide detective... Detective Mickey Ross agrees to give pick up the flower girl as a favor to his uncle, the groom. Then the flower girl turns out to be a flower woman with truly great legs who has a rule against getting serious. Things are looking up. Until the shooting starts. And the body count starts to rise. Now he’s trying to stay heart whole and alive until he can stand up with his uncle and then head for the swamp before he realizes he might be sorry Luci’s family has those dang rules… And what will Luci’s father do when he finds out he has a daughter? And that might be ready to break some rules…

Hello everyone, I’m Pauline Baird Jones, a USA TODAY Bestselling Author affectionately known as Perilous Pauline. I adopted the name after I found out on Twitter that Goodreads says that I died in 1999. Since I was already dead, I went ahead and embraced my quirky sense of humor and channeled it into my stories, my Facebook Pages, and my YouTube Channel where I love to write and perform as the Dead Author Live. As you may have guessed from both my Perilous Pauline and Dead Author Live, I never cared for reality all that much. When I’m not sharing the beautiful photographs that my husband has taken, chasing after my grandchildren, or expanding my Lego city, I’m off wandering among the genres, rampaging like Godzilla (we were born the same year!) and mixing peril and humor into my romances. For motivation, I devour chocolate, bacon and collect flamingoes and mid-century modern anything. Readers can follow me on my website at https://paulinebjones.com/ and Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/AuthorPaulin....
