Mum's The Word by Kate Collins

Mum's The Word by Kate Collins

      
I don't meddle, honest! But can I help it if my nose for injustice is as keen as my green thumb? Now, I, Abby Knight, law school dropout, am the proud new owner of Bloomers, my hometown flower shop. I'm devoted to making my business grow--but I'm no shrinking violet if someone needs my help to right a wrong--even if that person is already dead....

A THORNY PREDICAMENT

So maybe Abby's life isn't the bed of roses she was hoping it would be. She adores her job, but a new low-cost competitor is killing her profits--and a black SUV just rammed her vintage Corvette in a hit-and-run. Determined to track down the driver, she accepts the help of hunky ex- cop Marco Salvare. But their budding relationship is threatened when the trail turns deadly. Now Abby is caught in a tangle of menacing phone calls, police corruption, and murderous road rage. If she's not careful, the next flower arrangement might be for her own funeral....
