Synopsis: Freelance writer Jaine Austen&’s life is suddenly full of romance. For one thing, she&’s reconnected with her ex—though her cat, Prozac, isn&’t happy about it. And Jaine&’s also got a new ghostwriting gig, working on a steamy novel called Fifty Shades of Turquoise . . . Daisy Kincaid is in her sixties and heiress to a fortune. Now she wants to make a name for herself as a romance author . . . with a little help from Jaine, that is. As Jaine labors away on love scenes, she gets to know the wealthy woman&’s gentleman friend, her household staff, and her social circle—every one of whom is horrified when Daisy falls under the spell of a much younger stud named Tommy, a rude, crude lothario who&’s made himself a fixture in Daisy&’s Bel Air mansion. After Tommy and Daisy shock everyone by announcing their engagement, it doesn&’t take long for someone to stab him in the neck—with the solid gold Swiss Army knife that Daisy gave him as a gift. But to narrow down the list of suspects, Jaine will have to put a bookmark in that love story—and focus all her creative talent into untangling a tale of money and murder . . . &“Cozy fans are in for a treat.&” —Publishers Weekly
