About the book:
—In this dog
eat dog world, it’s people you have to keep your eye on.
When Lizzie Jones, pet sitter extraordinaire,
is asked to watch over her best friend's two spoiled dogs at the posh gated
community of Craggy Hill Estates, the last things she expects is to wind up in
the middle of a homicide. But that's exactly what happens when she finds her
best friend's cheating husband and Danger Cove’s celebrity bodybuilder champ,
Mr. Jupiter, floating face down in his hot tub. To make matters worse, the
police aren’t looking any further than the wife for a suspect—isn’t it always
the wife? Well, not in this case—at least Lizzie refuses to believe it.
Between
dealing with Craggy Hill's hot security guard, Tino Morales—who also just
happens to be the man who broke Lizzie’s heart in high school, caring for her
grieving friend, and watching three rambunctious dogs, Lizzie has her hands
full. So she recruits her famous granddad, retired network field correspondent,
Jimmy John Jones, to help her put two and two together to find the real killer.
Was Mr. Jupiter murdered by one of his women on the side? A jealous, disgruntled
employee? Or someone with a bitter and deep-seated hatred of the superstar?
It's up to Lizzie, Jimmy John, and Lizzie's own pug, Vader, to crack the case
before the killer claims another victim...this one much closer to Lizzie’s own
heart!

EXCERPT"I was thinking about you too," I said. "I had a terrific time last night. Dinner, dancing. What more could a girl ask for?"He smiled down at me, lifted my hand over my head, and led me to circle beneath our arms. Humming softly, he pulled me into a slow dance and whispered in my ear, "There are all kind of rhythms to the bachata. You like this one?"Whew. When exactly had his cute-and-cuddly factor flipped the switch to hot and sexy? I was so caught up in the nearness of him that I actually made it a few beats before stepping on his toes and causing him to flinch in pain.Dang. "Sorry, Tino. I guess I should have warned you that I'm a notorious klutz."He was all dewy-eyed and cuddly. "But the cutest klutz I've ever seen." And before I realized what he had in mind, he bent his head, pulled me in at the waist, and planted a kiss on me. Our lips met softly, then tightened as we pushed against each other, caught by surprise at the heat we were generating.I stepped back, breathing hard. He blinked a few times and ran his hand through his soft dark hair."Oh my," I said."Caliente," he said."Yes." I shook my head to clear it. "You can say that again.""Caliente."

Author Bio
The
international best-selling writing team of Sally J. Smith (right brain) and Jean
Steffens (left brain) make up equal halves of one totally functional
writer’s mind. Creative and intuitive and organized and systematic? What
could be better than that?
The two
desert dwellers work together side-by-side, literally finishing each other’s
sentences, putting together their novels faster and more efficiently than they
ever could individually.
When their
heads aren’t together over a manuscript, you’ll find them with their families,
at a movie, the yoga studio, the mall, or out-to-lunch—in the food sense, not
the spaced-out sense, well…most of the time. Their current series include
Jordan Welsh & Eddie Marino Novels, Mystic Isle Mysteries, Danger Cove Pet
Sitter Mysteries, and coming soon, Aloha Lagoon Gabby LeClair Mysteries, and
Digby Sloan Mysteries.
Visit our
website, look around, and sign up for our newsletter. We love hearing from our
readers and always answer our e-mails: smithandsteffens@cox.net.
Sally J.
Smith and Jean Steffens, are partners in crime—crime writing, that is. They
live in the Valley of the Sun in Arizona, awesome for eight months out of the
year, an inferno the other four. They write bloody murder, flirty romance, and
wicked humor all in one package.
