I Love You to Death — Amy Garvey

Blind dates--the scourge of every single woman's life, even if she's secretly hoping that maybe this time Mr. Right will show up. In Amy Garvey's sexy new collection of tales, the right guys do arrive--but they come with some unexpected complications...

"My Love Life is Killing Me"
Newly divorced Alex Ramsay is ready to plunge back into the dating pool when her friend sets her up with a guy guaranteed to show her a good time. Just one look proves that Matt Crawford is worth every one of her pre-date jitters--until she discovers that he's really John Tanner, private investigator, and that her date is in the men's room...dead. Tanner isn't the type to mix business with pleasure--unless Alex can convince him that partnership definitely has its perks...


"Dial M for Mortified"
Anything for business is Darcy Bennett's motto, even throwing a "blind date night" at her struggling coffeehouse, Sacred Grounds. The event is a huge success, especially when reporter Noah Gleason shows up. Darcy would rather pin him down and do some one-on-one investigation herself instead of answering his questions--and gruff, sexy Noah seems more than happy to oblige. Until someone screams, and suddenly mingling has turned into murder...


"Dead Men Don't Write Checks"
Elementary school teacher Franny Gabriel is fiercely protective of her neighborhood. With the Landry Foundation planning to tear down yet another historic building, she's going into battle--in her best cocktail dress and a new pair of heels. Crashing the Foundation's annual fundraiser is the best way to corner Theo Landry--it's business by very blind date. The corporate marauder turns out to be more tantalizing temptation than tough guy, though, at least until one of his opponents suffers death by dessert...

"Kiiller date" just took on a whole new meaning...
