Don't mess with Texas - Christie Craig

Nikki Hunt is broke and desperate. She's been struggling to make ends meet ever since she divorced her no-good husband for having sex with her employee on her favorite antique sofa. Quite frankly, she misses the sofa more than she misses the ex. But when he invites her to dinner in one of the fanciest restaurants in town for what looks like a reconciliation, she accepts. After all, a girl can't live on ramen noodles alone. But now she's sick. Literally. After an awkward exchange, her ex disappeared, sticking her with an exorbitant bill and what looks like a case of food poisoning. And just when the night can't seem to get any worse, it does. Nikki opens her trunk to find her ex-husband's body...and loses her $200 dinner all over his $3,000 suit.
Ex-cop turned PI Dallas O'Conner is committed to helping the unjustly accused. So when he lands himself in the middle of a crime scene and he takes one look at the beautiful and very ill suspect, he knows she couldn't possibly have done it. He's determined to get to the bottom of this case and maybe even do a little 'undercover' work with the gorgeous and undeniably sassy Nikki while he's at it.
