Elizabeth Hart enjoys her high-powered job and her lakeside home but is tired of Officer Andrew Baird's hands-off policy. A mere ten year age gap is no reason for refusing romance, is it? As Andrew searches for the motive behind a young woman's death, Elizabeth carefully plots her revenge against the handsome man who treats her as a younger sister. By using Andrew's penchant for practical jokes against him, she learns how to pursue truth, justice, and the handsome cop next door. A romantic mystery short from our Fingerprints line.

I write crime fiction from the arctic land of Michigan. With my co-author, Bill Howe, I write for school children. Our Cuffed series recounts Bill's adventures as a cop on the beat. We've also written an interactive novel where the reader has to collect clues to solve a crime. On my own, I write for adults. My work in progress concerns a zoo vet found murdered in the enclosure of a genetically modified cheetah. I live with my husband, three girls, and a neurotic dog. We ski as a way to cope with the local weather.
