Fat Chance — Rhonda Pollero

SOME PRICE TAGS CAN THREATEN MORE THAN A GIRL'S BUDGET.

Underachieving paralegal Finley Anderson Tanner should never have accepted her mother's offer to sell her a quaint cottage on posh Palm Beach at a bargain-basement price. The place is in shambles. At this rate, she'll be shopping designer outlets forever. But when Finley discovers a skeleton in her new closet, a total home renovation is the least of her worries. Sandwiched between sexy P.I. Liam McGarrity and her hot new boss, defense attorney Tony Caprelli, as she digs into a cold-case homicide involving a bizarre burglary ring, a lingerie thief, and filthy-rich Palm Beach socialites, she can only be headed for commitment. To an institution. With her fabulous (but slightly more successful) friends to keep her sane, Finley vows to get the bad guy -- and decorate her new house -- without paying full price.
