Lease On The Beach

A new lease on life can end in death... After a brush with death, Jackie Parker has big plans to lie low for a while. The best laid plans didn’t check in with her stressful job as part of Damaged Goods property management—or her drama queen mother. When one of their clients is found brutally murdered and a recently evicted tenant is a suspect, Jackie vows to Luke and Logan that this time she’ll stay out of the fray. After all, she’s not a detective and they have more than enough on their plate. A rogue RV, drug dealers, furies, snakes and monkeys, oh my! Plus, there’s a rival property management company determined to ruin Damaged Goods, a kidnapping and a sexy animal lover looking to cause trouble in Jackie's already rocky marriage. The Magic City’s sassiest process server is sitting on a powder keg of crazy and the two men in her life are playing with matches. One thing’s for sure, as far as Jackie's concerned this isn’t a day at the beach but the end of life as she knows it. Buy Lease on the Beach and take out a lease on laughter today!

Proposed OCS Sale No. 53 includes a maximum offering of 242 tracts for oil and gas leasing offshore central and northern California. Tracts comprise 532,258 hectares (1,315,205 acres) on the Federal OCS, ranging seaward from 3 to as far as 27 miles, and lying in water depths from 50 to 750 meters (162 to 2,437 feet). Tracts comprise five distinct subareas, extending from waters opposite Humboldt Bay in northern California to offshore waters opposite Point Conception in central California. There are no Federal oil and gas leases in the area at present. Very minor exploratory drilling has occurred in some areas previously. Because it is frontier area, the exact extent of oil and gas resources which might be present is somewhat uncertain. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates the most probable resource amounts at 548 million barrels of oil and 621 billion cubic feet of gas. Four of the subareas are regarded as oil prone, while all five are regarded as also likely containing gas. Pending final decision by the Secretary of the Interior, the proposed lease Sale is tentatively scheduled for May 1981.
