Love a Comeback

The latest novel in this sharply witty, will-they-or-won't-they new mystery series delivers Hollywood dish, clever intrigue, and maybe even true love between actresses Bexley Simon and Sam Farmer…
Since the hugely successful reunion special for their hit show Craven's Daughter, TV detectives Bex and Sam find themselves busier than ever-but, unfortunately, two thousand miles apart for long months. So much for quickly coaxing the long-simmering spark between them into flame. Finally back in L.A., though, all bets are off, and Bex and Sam are looking forward to some IRL time by the pool-at least until Bex's sister, Frankie, brings home a truly juicy bit of gossip garnered from her nepo baby girl squad . . .
Ramona Watts was once the Gen X It Girl-Hollywood darling, household name, muse, and coolest of the cool, until the "Icon with Issues" spectacularly crashed and burned, disappearing for a good 20 years. But a new hit horror series, The Howling, convinced her to sign on, and bring all her charm and 90s nostalgia to the role. Suddenly, Ramona Watts is a Name again-except that she fails to show up on set for Season 3.
It's none of their business, of course, but Bex and Sam are curious. And they both have Hollywood connections left, right, and center stage, some of whom would love to see them sleuthing again. Plus, spending that kind of time together means another chance at a real romance. So what if they're not actual detectives? In Los Angeles, isn't everyone playing a role?
