"The true story of a woman who would do anything for love and the lover who taught her to kill"--Jacket subtitle.

Rodney Bradford comes into Lindsay's restaurant, offers to buy her small house for double its value, eats her brownies, and drops dead on the sidewalk in front. Then someone breaks into her house and tries to dig up her basement. Next her almost-ex-husband offers to sign the divorce papers, but only if she'll give him her small, old house and take his big, new house instead. Suddenly everybody wants Lindsay's house. Is there oil under the basement, plans to bring the railroad through, pirate treasure buried in the basement? A second break-in occurs and causes her cat, King Henry, to launch into full attack mode, taking a few chunks out of the intruder. Lindsay enlists the aid of her enigmatic neighbor, Fred, to help solve the mystery while trying to keep her police detective boyfriend, Trent, from getting in their way with his insistence on all those silly cop rules. On the positive side, sales skyrocket for the special dessert Lindsay calls Murdered Man's Brownies. Prisoners, murderers, crazy relatives and strippers are all part of the chaos in this second book of the Death by Chocolate series. BONUS! Chocolate recipes included. Poison optional.

"Delightful and saucy!" "Really loved it and can't wait for book two in the series!" If a woman turns 40 and no one remembers it's her birthday, does that mean she's still 39? And if you spend the first day of your 40s standing in a dumpster, does that mean this is how you'll spend the next decade? Asking for a friend... Sergeant Wysdom Ward's 40th birthday is off to a banner start. She's forced to go dumpster diving for a piece of evidence. Her doctor tells her she's come down with an incurable case of peri-menopause. And to top it all off, her youngest brother has just made detective; something she will probably never be able to achieve because of the combo platter of a rookie mistake, her smart mouth and the burning desire to punch her boss in the face. Peri-Menopausal Irritation is real, y'all. Things start looking up, when she meets a magnificent man who agrees to be her birthday present. They toast with Champagne and chocolate, which leads to making out like teenagers and a sleepover that Wysdom can't remember. When this God Among Men is accused of murdering a local artist, she gets assigned to the case, searching for evidence to prove his innocence. But he's hiding secrets that could get the both of them killed. Wysdom will have to do something that goes against her very nature as a cop before she's arrested for murder too. A Hot Flash of Homicide is the high-octane first book in the Flamingo Cove series. Part murder mystery. Part romantic comedy. FYI: This book contains violence against stupid ex-husbands, real talk about menopause, sexy time that is definitely for ages 18+ and murder. Read at your own discretion.
