Dorothy Parker Award; First digital book nominated for Romantic Times Top Pick and Reviewer’s and Choice Award A comedy romance suspense novel Her mother has been hoping a man would fall in Stan's lap. But when a handsome spy dives through the sunroof of her car in a hail of bullets, Stan's sure this wasn't what momma had in mind. Bad guys beware. Stan's packing glue gun and she knows how to use it. Sort of. Isabel “Stan” Stanley didn’t want to go back home and live with her mother, but blood is thicker than water—even if its the river water than runs past New Orleans. She was happy living in the Big Easy, writing her children’s books about a perky roach. Blame it on her over-developed Good Samaritan gene or her mother’s well honed ability to create insta-guilt trips. She should have said no. She didn’t. And then she didn’t again, when a friend asked her for a favor. Or she should have kept the sunroof closed. Now’s she’s being stalked by bad guys and keeps tripping over Kelvin Kapone - yes, it’s Kapone with a K—and trying not to be an amateur sleuth and trying to stay alive. Kel would like to keep her out of trouble, and out of his investigation, but the bad guys keep pulling her back in. He’d also like to kiss her on the mouth, if the young guys and the not-so-young guys would get out of his way. Who knew the suburbs could be so dangerous? Tripping over bodies and each other, Stan and Kel follow a twisted trail of treason and bat crap crazy to a patriotic frenzy in a park with a “pig.” And then comes the hard part. How do they learn to live with—or without—each other?
