Two Cents of Doom — Kari Lee Townsend

Kalli Ballas-an introverted OCD fashion designer who can only read minds through the power of touch-finds herself trying to clear the name of the loud and boisterous detective's Ma of a murder charge, even though it's obvious Kalli and Detective Dreamy don't stand a chance.Kalli and her prissy calico cat have finally warmed up to the half-Greek detective's brash ways and big slobbery St. Bernard, but there are just some things that are impossible to overcome. Like his ex-girlfriend, who's full Greek, with an unstoppable mama on a mission, showing up in Clearview, Connecticut, ready to wreak havoc on everyone. His ex is claiming she's pregnant, and he's the proud papa. When she winds up dead, his ma becomes the number one suspect because she was the last person the victim was with and it's known she doesn't trust the girl. The detective's world is turned upside down, especially when he finds out his ex wasn't even pregnant.Kalli hasn't forgiven Nik, but she adores his ma. The only thing left to do is to take matters into her own hands, literally. She will use her gift and turn the tables on the killer to save the detective and clear his mother's name. In the end, the truth will set the detective free, but will it be too late to pick up where he and Kalli left off?
