Private investigator Mika Chalmers has no chance to decide whether or not she wants to start dating Eric Foresburg again with a murder on her desk. Georgie Howie, enforcer of the Irvine Buccaneers and Eric's teammate is the prime suspect in the murder of cross-town rival Dave Probst. He hires Mika to prove his innocence, but Mika is only after the truth.

She knows three things:

1) Witnesses saw Georgie Howie beat Probst up outside a swanky Newport Beach bar right on Pacific Coast Highway just hours before he died but nobody knows why

2) Probst officially died of poison, not the assault wounds

3) Georgie is hiding something

On top of that, Mika and Eric are dating again, but Mika worries it's too much too soon. It doesn't help that arrogant Detective Alex Beech is interjecting himself in the case and her love life. It would be nice to know how she feels, especially with Eric seemingly wanting to get more serious. This is what Mika thinks she wants.

But does she?

Not even her new rescue cat, Catsey Cline, can tell her.

With the hockey season finally underway, Mika must get to the bottom of what really happened to Dave Probst before Georgie's career is over on someone else's terms.

With the heated chemistry of Castle and the unpredictable twists and turns of Bones, hockey fans are devouring this new romantic mystery series by a USA Today Best Selling Author.
