About this listen
Who knew a murder or two would turn Jake Stewart’s life around?
Jake was trying to figure out his life after being abruptly downsized from what he considered the best job in the world — being a reporter in a fast moving, big city newsroom. Now, he was wandering the Southwest in the Beast, an aging RV that was his only home in the world. No job, no prospects, no love.
Then in the fading moments of a brilliant sunset in the Mesa country of Arizona, he hears cries for help, and stumbles across a half-dressed woman standing over a partially buried body among the red rocks. And everything changes.
Using his skills as a reporter and spurred on by an unexpected romance, Jake follows the clues … but as he gets closer to the killer, the killer may be getting closer to him… and his new sweetie.
If you like lovable but oddball characters in a colorful setting, red herrings, an intriguing plot, fast-paced writing, then you’ll love this laugh-out-loud Jake Stewart mystery.

Story
My obnoxious, unemployed neighbor is the last man on earth I’d ever marry, but to save my job and my reputation in this small town I’ll have to pretend I’m his fiancée. I’ve always played by the rules. I work hard and I take care of the people I love. Sure my furniture hasn’t been updated since the sixties (I inherited it from my parents), I love classic movies, and I prefer sweater sets to mini-skirts, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to settle down with fifteen cats and accept spinster-hood. I want to fall in love, marry the right guy–an upstanding, risk-averse, good ...

She was only marrying him to save the vineyard... It was just a contract, a way to access the money tied up in her inheritance. It didn’t mean anything. She knew she mustn’t think about Mac's broad shoulders. About the intriguing tattoo that curled around his arm, how his muscular body gleamed when he worked in the warm sunshine, or how his ocean-blue eyes heated her from the inside out. She mustn’t think about the stolen kiss, the way he’d slipped his arm around her waist to pull her against him. The soft touch of his lips on hers. “It’ll be strictly business,” he repeated. ...
