Smoking Gun

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author, C. L. Stone.Charleston native Celeste Logan is the face for her father's real estate company. She's been trained from an early age to sweet talk people into accepting million-dollar deals and is in all the commercials. When her father's death is wrongly portrayed as an accident, it will take more than a little bit of sugar to get John Sanders, her father's jerkwad, right-hand guy, to confess to murder. Celeste spies on Sanders to get the evidence she needs, only to be stalled by Beau Andrews.

Beau is clever, seductive, a private detective, and he's working for Sanders. Celeste believes her only way to find what she wants is through Beau, but while she's looking for a way in, there's someone else preying her.

Between a mugging, a car chase, random dead carcass deposits on her porch, and other meanie things happening to her, she's a little too out of breath to find the words to win Beau over.
