Girls on Fire
Summary
This is not a cautionary tale about too much - or the wrong kind of - f**king. This is not a story of bad things happening to bad girls. I say this because I know you, Dex, and I know how you think. I'm going to tell you a story, and this time it will be the truth. Hannah Dexter is a nobody, ridiculed at school by golden girl Nikki Drummond and bored at home. But in their junior year of high school, Nikki's boyfriend walks into the woods and shoots himself. In the wake of the suicide, Hannah finds herself befriending new girl Lacey, and soon the pair are inseparable, bonded by their shared hatred of Nikki. Lacey transforms good girl Hannah into Dex, a Doc Marten and Kurt Cobain fan who is up for any challenge Lacey throws at her. The two girls bring their combined wills to bear on the community in which they live; unconcerned by the mounting discomfort that their lust for chaos and rebellion causes the inhabitants of their parochial small town, they think they are invulnerable. But Lacey has a secret about life before her better half, and it's a secret that will change everything.... Starting - and ending - with tragedy, Girls on Fire stands alongside The Virgin Suicides in its brilliant portrayal of female adolescence but with a power and assurance all its own.

The Pas de Deux: A Lora Weaver Mystery
Summary
Lora Weaver goes on her first undercover case packing nothing but a poodle and two left feet. Oh, and a French fake fiancé and a very real jealous boyfriend.... Lora Weaver is an ex-New Yorker, an ex-social worker, and could soon be an ex-everything if the identity thief poking a gun into her ribs gets itchy fingers. On her first undercover case since swapping her social work career for a job at a PI firm, Lora is finding out that there’s more to playing Mata Hari than wardrobe changes. Much more. A fake fiancé, a fake wedding, and a fake name for starters. Never mind the dance lessons. Plus, there are undercover rules. Not that Lora’s good at following rules. But she’d better get good in a hurry because her new gig has her working alongside her ex-cop boss Laurent — a French PI who’s as hard about rules as he is soft on the eyes. With her live-in boyfriend Adam simmering with jealousy and her best friend Camille dragging her to tea readings, Lora’s new life in Montreal gets complicated. Especially when the identity thief she’s tracking seems to be branching out to murder and Lora may be the next target. The Pas de Deux is the second romp in the Lora Weaver Mystery series with the same mix of romance, fun, and French charm....

The First Faux Pas: A Lora Weaver Mystery
Summary
A missing deadbeat dad, a French flirt, and a meddling ex. Lora Weaver's new life is about to get bumpy.... Lora Weaver follows romance from New York to Montreal and expects to find a touch of Paris in North America — cobblestone streets, sidewalk cafés, fabulous shopping, and a little joie de vivre [zest for life]. Not dangerous liaisons. But, when she takes a job at a PI agency owned by a French brother and sister team, her life takes on more twists and turns than a Cirque du Soleil show. Her latest brush with danger kicks off the case of Piedro “Puddles” Bellinni — a deadbeat dad whose disappearance is linked to a dying girl, a socialite about to inherit a fortune, and a would-be thug whose ego ends up nearly as dented as his car. Amid stalkings, shootouts, and kidnappings, Lora must also survive an unexpected house guest — a flirty old friend of her live-in boyfriend Adam. With a cast of characters that includes Camille Caron — a French PI with sharp boots, an even sharper tongue, and whose confidence and poise come from knowing how to drop a man twice her size — and her brother Laurent, an ex-cop and hockey hottie, The First Faux Pas is more caper-style romp than whodunit mystery. The Lora Weaver Series: "More gauze than grit...more Stephanie Plum than Philip Marlowe." (The Thrilling Detective Website) Series in order: The First Faux Pas The Nearly Nixed Noël The Pas de Deux The Lost Love Liaison The Ménage à Trois Also available: The Demi-Tasse Début (prequel) The Lora Weaver Bundle (3 stories in 1 book) Hope you enjoy the series:) About the Author: Katy Leen grew up on baguette and chocolate milk in a house full of pets and books. She writes the Lora Weaver mysteries and is currently working on the next book in the series.
