Unplanned Party


Book Description

"When hiding behind the scenes is no longer an option..." As an introverted party planner, Emma Toplin’s superpower is to blend. Except on her birthday when she tries to flee the worst public humiliation of her life, but can’t—because someone stole her Parte van. Struggling to shun the media spotlight, prank callers, and her sister, she’s also got a delicious detective on her case who’s a party-favour she doesn’t need. Newly promoted detective, Ryan Lewis, always follow orders, and it’s his job to trap the Parte van. Yet working with Emma blurs his lines of professionalism, stirring the battle between his heart and his badge. But when an uninvited guest threatens to wrench them apart, past secrets are revealed at a party that could be Emma’s last... Unplanned Party is a fun fling, celebrating lives filled with flaws, cocktails, and gallons of glitter. It's the perfect blend of drama, romance, friendship, and love; where its characters (and pets) are flawed and funny, making them perfectly relatable to readers who enjoy their heartfelt romance combined in today's women's fiction.

Desperate Housedogs


Book Description

In posh Laguna Beach, murder has gone to the dogs. When Caro Lamont, former psychologist turned pet therapist makes a house call to help Kevin Blackstone with his two misbehaving German Shepherd dogs, she expects frantic dogs, she expects a frantic dog owner, she even expects frantic neighbors. What she doesn't expect is that two hours later the police will find Kevin dead, his dogs impounded; and that as the last person to see Kevin alive (well, except for the killer) she is suddenly a person of interest, at least according to Homicide Detective Judd Malone. Sparkle Abbey is the pseudonym of two mystery authors (Mary Lee Woods and Anita Carter). They are friends and neighbors as well as co-writers of the Pampered Pets Mystery Series. The pen name was created by combining the names of their rescue pets - Sparkle (Mary Lee's cat) and Abbey (Anita's dog). They reside in central Iowa, but if they could write anywhere, you would find them on the beach with their laptops and depending on the time of day either an iced tea or a margarita.)
