Ivy is determined to make her living as a nutritionist, but her family has other plans. When that family is the mafia, and one of them has gone missing, all other jobs are summarily pushed aside. Or else.

Ivy can't trust anyone outside of the family, but Slate is not only willing to help, he's the last person to have seen her uncle alive. It only makes sense to keep her eye and gun on Slate while they hunt for clues. Watching him is easy because Slate is more than happy to keep her close, but is he leading her away from her uncle or truly hot on the trail?

Ivy can't cook her way out of this mess, but she has a recipe or two for dealing with disaster—if she can just put the fires out before she gets burned!

A contemporary rom-com sure to make you laugh out loud!

One Smart Cookie, book two, will be out Sept 2023.
