With summer in full swing, Magnolia Ruby spends her time enjoying her painting and associating with her friends. However, her peaceful season of life is interrupted by someone in her past who seeks her help to solve a murder that may not have even happened. Magnolia is reluctant to investigate the death certain that her old friend is being paranoid. Then a new death inspires the amateur detective to search for answers. Taking on a new persona and enlisting help from old and new sources, Magnolia Ruby must remain alert in hopes of uncovering the dark truth before it is too late.
A teenage girl recovers in a Sacramento hospital, the sole survivor of a terrible accident that killed her parents-parents she can't remember. All she knows for sure is she's in danger. For the girl, known only as Angie, staying put is not an option.After saving a friend from a vicious attack reveals she's no ordinary human, Angie races to find a safe place. A chance encounter with the intriguing Michael Winter leads her over the Sierras to Lake Tahoe, where she's nearly abducted. As she escapes to Colorado, she struggles to unravel who she is and where she came from; instead, the mystery of her identity deepens. Her only hope is to find the truth before it's too late.
FULL BODIED is book #3 in the Ruby Steele Mystery, which begins with ON THE ROCKS (Book #1). Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you'd want to cross. Ruby's known for making friend in bad places. And her newest friend, a bouncer at the brothel next door, is no exception. When he comes to her with a sob story, she can't turn away. When that story turns to a body he found this morning, Ruby sits up straighter. When it turns out that body belonged to a trafficked teenaged girl, Ruby's sense of justice is lit. Ruby's gotta solve this one, for her own need to set wrongs right. Problem is, the cops don't care, and this case will surely take her to some bad places, and up against some bad people. That may just include a billionaire with his own private yacht-and his own private army. It's not like Ruby doesn't have an army of her own coming after her. The last thing Ruby needs right now is a two-front war. But it looks like that's exactly what she's going to get. No one said Ruby's judgement was good. Then again, if it was, she wouldn't be hiding out in the Bahamas, tending bar, with a monkey on her shoulder and an enemy list a mile long. Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby's life is a complete wreck. But there's one thing she's good at: capturing your heart. FULL BODIED (A RUBY STEELE MYSTERY) is book #3 in a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read. Future books in the series will be available soon
