Book Description
A California vacation sounds like a great idea to Vermonter Bree MacGowan until a dead woman falls into her life, she's abducted from her bed, and her boyfriend disappears completely. It's enough to make a girl wish she'd never heard of California. Luckily for Bree, a rugged undercover federal agent is determined to keep her from becoming a casualty in his latest case, but Bree is less than cooperative. It could be she doesn't know he's on her side, or maybe she's just plain hardheaded. Either way, it's enough to make a guy wish he'd never heard of Bree MacGowan.

Lovely Lofty Loco? As a black entertainment writer in Los Angeles, Vida Donnevan is plagued by insecurity and feelings of invisibility.
