Annie McHugh should be happy. She's 5' 6", seriously pretty, and despite a ravenous appetite for cream cakes, is a perfect size 10. Well -12-ish. She also runs a detective agency with her delectable partner Gerry.
But Annie has a secret. She longs to handle an investigation, to escape from her desk and get down and dirty with the agency detectives. OK, she already gets down and dirty with Gerry - but that's personal. Her dream is to become an investigator. All that's standing in her way are three macho detectives, and an increasingly surly bank manager who calls with irritating regularity, demanding that she get the agency account out of the red, or else...
Josiah Jefferson is a police officer who moves to Corbin's Bend from a polygamist community hoping to find the woman of his dreams who will live a DD lifestyle. Laney Paulsen is the chef at the Sushi restaurant in Corbin's Bend who lives with her cousin Ginger and husband Beau. Laney is getting discouraged because whenever a single guy moves to Corbin's Bend he is snapped up in a hurry. After meeting each other Laney asks Josiah to become her disciplinarian. Josiah will discipline Laney when needed; but they won't be dating each other.
This is another great addition to the series. The story flows smoothly from beginning to end and watching Josiah and Laney try to walk through this minefield while Josiah learns the tricks of the trade was great.
