Introduction

Nine lives go fast...

Legal investigator Sara Townley's not feeling too good about her recent Vegas wedding to a Navy SEAL she barely knows, and her assignment to the case of a missing cat-despite the fur ball's multimillion dollar inheritance-only confirms that her life is in the litter box.

When the Navy man comes home from active service to make good on his vows, and a rendezvous with an informant puts Sara face to face with a dead body, her personal and professional lives suddenly get serious-and she'll need a sharp survival instinct to make it out alive.

Excerpt

CHAPTER ONE

“Do I appear to be kidding, Sara?”

Well, he had me there. Senior partners at big Seattle law firms did not kid. They intimidated with pinstripes and Picassos. I’d be more likely to spot a grin on one of the presidents at Mt. Rushmore and, in the case of my boss Morris Allensworth Hamilton IV, more life in the eyes.

“No, sir.”

“I expect immediate results.”

“Yes, sir.”

With a regal nod, I was dismissed. I stomped down the three floors to my cubicle off the storage room. As the investigator for the law firm of Abercroft, Hamilton and Sterns, I didn’t expect an invitation to the executive dining room, but for one wild moment I’d actually thought this missing millionaire was my ticket to the big time.

I dropped into my desk chair and pulled my laptop closer, opening a new file. Name: Flash Millinfield. Age: 10 years. Description: Black hair, brown eyes, 10 pounds, approximately 12 inches tall.

Discussion Questions

From the author:

1. Sara's boss doesn't take her seriously. Why? What does she do about it? Does it work? What should she do about it?

2. Sara doesn't talk to Russ about Connor before he shows up. Why?

3. Millicent has millions but continues to work as a secretary. Why? Why doesn't she give it away? What would you do with two million?

4. The police don't listen to Emma Burke when she says her husband didn't commit suicide. Why not? Have you ever had trouble getting heard?

5. Sara goes to a dangerous place late at night to meet a source. Have you ever done anything that put you in harm's way like she does? When? Why?

6. Connor teaches Sara how to break in to her office. He has to know she'll use that skill. Why does he do it? Could you? What would be the scariest part? If you had one criminal skill, what would you want it to be? Why?

7. Millicent's entire family is Flash. He's her touchstone. What is Sara's? What is Russ'? Why? What's yours?

8. Connor thinks he's instictive while Sara is impulsive. Is it mere semantics? What is the real difference in the way they decide things? What examples do you see in the book? Are they consistent? What is your way?
