Midnight Ice — Diane Vallere

Ice, ice, baby!
When Doris Day-loving, mid-century modern interior decorator Madison Night crosses the country to Carmel-by-the-Sea to distance herself from a recent breakup, she learns it's harder to escape her past than she thought. FBI agents, threatening thugs, a luggage mix-up, and Southwest design come together in an unexpected intersection involving a shipment of rare diamonds. Now it's not only who she knows but what she knows that either gives Madison an edge . . . or leaves her on ice.
