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…

Luci Seymour is out of the murder business and in the mom/wife/B&B business. Until the morning she sees a body in the new freezer. But when she goes to call in her homicide detective husband, she sees the dead guy walk in the front door. Not dead. Not even chilly...
