An impulsive pet spa owner loses her elderly client's prize pooch ...
After a lifetime of impetuous mistakes, Jersey Shore pet spa owner Grace Donnelly outdoes herself when a client's prize poodle, a shoo-in to win the annual Fur Ball, goes AWOL while in her custody. With money, careers, and lives in jeopardy, Grace is not afraid to strap on the leather to go undercover in a fetish club looking for clues. Too bad her helpers consist of an aging hippie aunt, a renegade schnauzer, a drag queen, and a dominatrix or two. Worst of all, the only man truly qualified to help is her former flame, the most domineering male on the eastern seaboard.

A smokin' hot bodyguard has his own dangerous agenda ...
Texas-born security specialist Nick Jackson faces his worst nightmare when Grace's amateur investigation nearly blows his covert operation. Unless he nails the con-artist who scammed his home-town's senior citizens and whacked a witness, his homicidal granddaddy will take justice into his own liver-spotted hands. To salvage his case, his sanity, and his ex-lover's velvety skin, Nick joins forces with the sassy crusader who rubs him the wrong way--and so many right ways too.

Together, they encounter an explosion of murder & mayhem...Action bounces from the upscale Shore community of Saltwater Estates to a beach harboring washed-up corpses, a yacht no honest preacher could possibly afford, and the bawdiest nightclub in Atlantic City. With the Fur Ball rapidly approaching and hazards multiplying like bunnies, will Grace find the missing poodle in time, and can Nick nail the con-artist before his granddaddy does?

EXCERPT

Nick must have noticed her glance, because he said, "There's not much time. We need to get out of these cuffs."
"Sure thing. I'll start gnawing off my hand." Skewered by his implacable stare, Grace said, "Right. You're angry. I get it. I messed up tonight. A teensy bit."
He closed his eyes briefly, as if in pain.
A guilty chill chased down her spine. "Okay, it was the dumbest move of my life." If not for her presence on board, Nick would have been long gone, and out of danger.
His breath hissed through his teeth a couple of times. "We won't discuss this now. You're going to unlock us."
She breathed out one long, slow exhale.
"You carry lock-picking tools?"
His teeth gleamed briefly, but she doubted it was a smile.
"Only when I break and enter. Luckily she missed them when she patted me down."
"She was concentrating on a different set of tools."
He clearly wasn't amused because he said, "Don't push your luck, Gracie. For your information, there really was a gun in my pocket. They confiscated it along with a knife and my cell phone." He bent one knee and extended his leg awkwardly. "Can you reach my shoe?"
She strained to reach with her free hand. The handcuff bit into the tender flesh of her chained wrist. No matter how hard she tried, his leg was out of range."Move closer," she said.
Grunting, he twisted his body to one side and lengthened his leg while she stretched her arm until her good shoulder was ready to pop out of joint.
Gasping, she touched his ankle with one finger, then another. Using her fingertips, she worked the plasticized packet of tools loose.
