Known for sparkling originality and dazzling dialogue, USA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner blends the intrigue of film noir with the fun of a sexy romance in this fast and flirty new novel.

Sexy private investigator David Anderson takes one look at Jacey Wilder and knows she's no femme fatale. The red-headed smart-aleck in his office couldn't be more different from the tight-skirted dames he creates in the pulp fiction novels he writes in his spare time. But Jacey is a paying customer and he's encountered precious few of those lately. All he has to do is track down her old boyfriend. How hard could it be?

With her thirtieth birthday fast approaching, Jacey is determined to get her life on track. Locating her old flame -- a suave, normal guy -- seems like the logical first step. But when she enlists the services of P.I. Anderson, logic is suddenly in short supply: the tough-talking detective is the one who is making her blood sizzle and Jacey's starting to wonder if the man she's really searching for isn't right under her nose....
