Shoot From The Lip — Leann Sweeney

Even though sassy Texas heiress Abby Rose was born with a silver iced-tea spoon in her mouth, she's seen plenty of hard-luck stories in her work as an adoption PI. But consulting on a lifestyle makeover show will introduce her to an alternative--and deadly--reality...

The thought of working with a hotshot producer and her TV crew is about as appealing to Abby as sticking her hand in a bucket of leeches. But Reality Check is a program that claims to turn American dreams into the real thing, and Abby figures that if anyone deserves that kind of bonanza, it's Emma Lopez, who has been raising her three younger siblings since her mother disappeared. Her family may be short on cash, but they're long on backbone. Of course, there's a hitch: An anonymous note hinting at a missing fourth child has been delivered to the studio, and a lost baby is just the kind of gritty reality the producers don't want to expose. But Abby is determined to help Emma realize her dream of a reunion--even when it becomes clear that someone out there doesn't believe in happy endings....
