DRESSED TO KEEL
Don't ask ER nurse Darcy Cavanaugh
why she's climbing the gangway of a cruise ship--she'll mutter something
about job burnout, Firefighter Sam, or that unfortunate incident
with an R-rated peanut butter sandwich. The Fall Foliage Tour with
champagne, melting wedges of Brie and well-stuffed tuxedoes could
mean time to re-think her career, get her life together and plant
her Jimmy Choos firmly back on the ground. Only trouble is, everything
under Darcy's feet is moving, cruising full speed ahead toward disaster.
When mini-strokes, jewel theft, and a dubious Halloween suicide
point a finger of suspicion at her best friend, Darcy dons a mermaid
suit and fights a tidal wave of trouble to defend her; stowing clues
in her cleavage, torching socks in the shower and even dangling
from a lighthouse cliff.
She can handle the flotsam of eccentric suspects and victims: Prom
Princess, Yoga Nazi, Queen Bee, Miss Bliss and the Phantom Dancer,
but that gorgeous Dance Host, Luke Skyler, makes her dash for a
lifejacket--why is the man so blasted baffling? Are his arms a safe
berth or leading her to Tango with a killer? When Spa treatments
turn deadly, a lifeboat careens overhead and Darcy is threatened
with her own sexy lingerie, it looks like she may be next to walk
the plank.

Calvert's debut folds mystery and romance into a valentine to
the cruising experience.
