"Bobbie Faye's Whacked Out, No Good, Really Sucky, Hot Mess of a

Wedding" by Toni McGee Causey

Bobbie Faye Sumrall, Cajun Contraband Days Queen, gun expert, and ultimate professional in being in the wrong place at the wrong time, absolutely positively does not want to go through with the wedding that Trevor's forcing her to agree to, but she soon finds out she has more important things to worry about–like surviving the plot to make her disappear when she's set up as a fall guy for the theft of a priceless religious icon.

"Rebel Rose" by Karin Tabke

For Detective Cash Cantrell, hunting down a University serial killer is as routine as strapping on his gun each morning. Until he comes face to face with meddlesome coed, Rebel Yell Culpepper. He doesn't know if he should arrest her or kiss her, but one thing Cash knows for sure, Rebel is key to finding the murderer, and the killer knows it, too.
