An Inkling of Evil — Kari Lee Townsend

The holiday season is a big deal for both OCD introverted fashion designer, Kalli Ballas, and boisterous extroverted Detective Nik Stevens... Their families go all out, but this is the first time Kalli and Nik will be spending it together as an official couple, despite their differences. The Plate Smashing Festivities get out of hand when Nik's Casanova Cousin arrives in town and crashes the party, giving a whole new meaning to the gift of giving. Casanova charms his way around town, making as many enemies as friends. Detective Stevens has all he can do to keep the peace and keep his cousin out of trouble. When the local party planner winds up dead, Casanova becomes the number one suspect, and suddenly the new year isn't looking very bright. Kalli has to put any resolutions she made with Detective Dreamy on hold while she uses her mind-reading ability to help clear his cousin's name. But how long is Nik willing to wait this time?
