When the IRS claims Delaney Morran, the high-heeled tow truck driver and amateur sleuth, owes back taxes, she hires an accountant to fight Uncle Sam. Before Delaney can resolve the issue, a tax collector shows up in Spruce Ridge, Colorado demanding an amount Delaney can't afford. It gets worse when Delaney's accountant becomes the town's next murder victim and Delaney's tax records are locked inside the crime scene. The quickest way to get the Internal Revenue off her case is to catch the killer and get her files back, so she speeds around town questioning suspects while keeping one step ahead of the tax man. Will Delaney be able to solve yet another murder and secure her records before the IRS shuts her down?

Super-feminine and confirmed shoe-a-holic Delaney Morran receives an unexpected inheritance--the keys to a tow truck from a dad she's never known. Even though she hasn't changed a tire, or even driven any kind of a truck, she's determined to make the rough and dangerous business a success. When she hauls a vehicle with the body of her jerk-of-an...

Jane Marsh and her fiancé visit the wine country on the western slope of Colorado during the Peach Festival to check out a location for their wedding. The dinner club comes along to make a weekend out of it, and they play a murder mystery game as part of the B&B's getaway package. Unbeknownst to the participants, one of them will not live to see the next day. Jane is horrified when she discovers a body and realizes it's for real...not just part of the game. The B&B quickly begins to lose business, so the owner begs Jane to solve the crime fast. Another person is murdered and one of the dinner club members confesses. Jane is in disbelief...and even more desperate to solve the murder before someone she cares about goes down for a crime they didn't commit and the killer strikes again.

Jane Marsh wants to shake off the empty nest syndrome, plus the notoriety of the death of her first and second husbands, by starting over in a new place. She sells her family home to move to a far northern suburb of Denver. At the same time, Jane's dinner club is undergoing a transformation, and a new man-a gourmet chef-enters her life. But, things turn sour when, on the day Jane moves into her new home, she discovers a dead body. She cannot feel at home in this town where she's surrounded by cowboys, horse pastures, and suspects. Not to mention where a murder was committed practically on her doorstep. How can she focus on romance and dinner clubs when one of her new friends-or maybe even her old ones-might be a murderer?
