One Little Wish
Summary
Dear Diary, I know three things: 1. I didn't kill anyone. 2. Mack Montgomery is a troublemaker. 3. I am running out of time. You've got to believe me, Diary. I didn't have anything to do with those murders, I promise you. For crying out loud, I'm the only person in this tiny Texas town who doesn't own a gun! But I can't help feeling like someone is out to get me. The only question is who, and why. While we're at it, let's get one other thing straight. None of this would have happened if it weren't for the shadow called Mack Montgomery. That man may be hot-as-sin and the talk of the high school reunion, but let me tell you one thing. He is up to something, Diary. He is so full of questions, yet somehow, I can't seem to find one single answer. One second he's breaking into my house and accusing me of murder, and the next, he's turned those soft baby blues on me, making my stomach do all sorts of somersaults. I'm running low on time, Diary. If I can't find the murderer, and if Mack Montgomery doesn't go back to where he belongs, I'm afraid that my one little wish may never come true. Xoxo, Scarlett One Little Wish is a full-length, southern cozy mystery with a strong female protagonist and a hot-as-sin hero. Note: This book can be heard as a standalone, though it is part of a larger mystery series. It is rated PG-13 for some mild language. No graphic gore or sex, but there is some kissing; you've been warned.

Sauced
Summary
Lacey Luzzi is all sorts of starred, striped, and spangled as she returns in Sauced, reunited with Meg, Clay, and Anthony just in time for the Fourth of July! Unfortunately, the rapidly approaching holiday means Lacey can no longer ignore the Luzzi Family Festivities - a picnic held every year on Independence Day. Filled to bursting with limoncello, ice cream cake, and illegal Mexican fireworks, the event promises to be an utter nightmare. Even worse? Lacey's inevitable birthday. Just when things are looking as if they can't possibly go any more downhill, Carlos delivers a birthday present Lacey is not expecting: a bomb. Rumor has it that someone around town has been importing materials to build a massive incendiary device, promising the Twin Cities one heck of a fireworks show - and not in a good way. Carlos instructs Lacey to work side by side with Anthony - a man who suddenly seems filled with secrets - to save the day. As the humidity rises outside, the heat is on Lacey to locate the bomb and disassemble it before her hometown receives a fireworks display it won't forget. If she can't find the explosives, there's a good chance Lacey might not make it to 30.

Sprinkled: A Humorous Cozy Mystery!
Summary
Lacey Luzzi's roller coaster of a life has been filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. She just never expected the lows to be so...sparkly. After falling on her face during an attempt to follow in her recently deceased mother's stripper boots, Lacey realizes she is not cut out for life onstage. She sets out on a yearlong investigation to find her true family, never expecting she'll find it with a capital F. With a rumbling stomach, a need for money ("check engine" lights don't fix themselves!), and a conscience that operates at 78 percent on a good day, Lacey is sucked into a whirlwind of family secrets, hard-as-cement cookies, and mysterious, sexy men who unfortunately shoot guns, sometimes aimed at her face. The long-lost granddaughter of Carlos Luzzi, the godfather of the Italian Mafia, Lacey accepts her first assignment for the mob: finding $15 million of "the good stuff". Even after she enlists the help of her mouthy best friend and her cousin, a technical genius and social disaster, she finds that going toe to toe with the rival Russian mob is more dangerous than expected. No one chooses their family, but Lacey Luzzi will be lucky if she can survive hers.

Sparkled
Summary
Lacey, Clay and Meg are back - this time headed to...a wedding? Assignment Numero Dos for Lacey comes straight from the Godfather himself. When one of the Luzzi Family's low-ranking associates turns up dead, Carlos believes it may be the doing of the rival Russian mob, and he orders Lacey to find the killer. But every detail about the assignment is a little too neat, a little too tidy, and a little too good to be true. Could this really be an open and shut case, complete with a confession from the murderer? When Lacey's pumpkin-colored, body-building cousin Joey starts making trouble at his ex-fiancé's wedding - the case starts unraveling from the inside out. Lacey's not sure what is worse: going face to face with a vicious murderer, ditching Auntie Nora's attempts to fill in the "plus one" on her invite, or finding herself locked in the same hotel as the hot, unavailable, but increasingly drool-worthy Anthony. Though most family gatherings are challenging, Lacey is afraid that this glittery Family wedding might just kill her.

Sprouted
Summary
As Lacey waits for Baby Luzzi to make his or her appearance, she’s decided - at her husband’s insistence - to cool her jets on the whole chasing-criminals lifestyle. She’s settled in comfortably as part-time help at her best friend’s bar, and, although the work might be a tad boring after years of explosions and car chases, it’s a safe job, relatively sanitary, and uneventful - for most people. Lacey isn’t most people. When Lacey gets caught in the middle of a bank heist, her priceless wedding ring ends up in the hands of three ladies known to the media as the Femme Fatale. The thieves might have gotten away with three heists across the Twin Cities to date, but one hitch they didn’t count on was a pregnant lady scorned. Lacey Luzzi’s hormones are on the fritz, her sugar habits are out of control, and her tears are flowing freely. This time, the robbers picked on the wrong gal. With her due date approaching rapidly, Lacey is bound and determined to recover her ring and put this case behind her...before she’s delivering more than guilty criminals on the job.

I've never seen a woman wear so many sunglasses before: red, pink, blue, green, glitter-encrusted. I don't understand it. As for her organizational skills? Abysmal. Her attention to detail? Non-existent. Her ability to frustrate me to no end? Spot on. I never should have hired her. Lola Pink does not fit into my schedule. Nevertheless, she whirled into my life anyway; and she changed everything. Now I'm stuck trying to keep my company afloat and the two of us alive, while Lola turns my life all shades of pink.
