I'm Your Venus — Diane Vallere

Sylvia Stryker is taking space by storm -- and the galaxy is gearing up for adventure as national bestselling author Diane Vallere blasts Sylvia's Moon Unit to Venus…
When amateur sleuth Sylvia Stryker boards Moon Unit 6, it's with an eye on the future. After space pirates destroyed her life, the cruise ship's trek to Venus provides a fresh start. But when the winner of the promotional contest designed to hype the trip is found dead outside the uniform ward, sleuthing takes top priority. The amorous effect of Venus threatens to compromise the investigation -- as does the victim's secret relationship with Sylvia's boss! Forward thinking, back channels, and distractions on the side lead Sylvia on a pulse-pounding probe that exposes a murderer . . . along with the surprising truth about her past.
