Skirting Disaster — Kay Keppler

Phoebe Renfrew—on leave from her job at the CIA—talks her way into apprenticing as a private investigator. Her first job takes her to Venture Automotive, an electric-vehicle manufacturing start-up, where someone vandalized the cars and stole data. The loss is devastating for CEO Chase Bonaventure, retired star quarterback of the Las Vegas Rattlesnakes—and the man Phoebe's almost certainly in love with. He's determined to stop the escalating damage before it's too late—and convince Phoebe that their relationship is worth fighting for. As they close in on the culprit, the thief swears vengeance—permanently. Phoebe calls on everyone she knows—including two gossipy and competitive mothers, some NASCAR drivers, a squad of cheerleaders, and a marching band—for help. When the showdown comes at the Rattlesnakes stadium, everyone is at risk. Can Phoebe halt the heist—and figure out her relationship with Chase—before anyone gets hurt?Phoebe Renfrew—on leave from her job at the CIA—talks her way into apprenticing as a private investigator.
