Random Acts of Fraud

By Christy Barritt

Vintage-loving Holly Anna Paladin finds online dating uncouth and unbecoming. But, in an attempt to overcome her romantic slump, her BFF convinces Holly to give it a shot.

When Holly is stood up on her first date, she's halfway relieved . . . until she discovers the reason isn't because her cyber matchup has cold feet. Instead she stumbles upon him in a classic Mustang, deader than good old-fashioned manners.

Holly's had enough with investigating crime and leaves her ex-boyfriend, Detective Chase Dexter, to solve this mystery. But Holly is somehow connected to this murder, and someone is determined to keep her in the thick of things. She hopes it's not Drew Williams, the handsome funeral director who's trying to sweep her off her feet.

Before more people are hurt, Holly is determined to unmask the pretender in her life. But can she keep her feelings for Chase locked away? Or will Holly end up losing her heart to him all over again? She must solve the case before someone pulls the plug on her profile . . . and deletes her permanently.

Online Dating Can Be Murder

Holly is distraught over her break-up with her detective boyfriend, Chase, so her best friend convinces her to move on by trying online dating. As Jamie and Holly go out on a double date with guys they met online, nothing goes as planned. Holly's date stands her up -- well sort of -- by ending up dead! Of course, ex-boyfriend Chase is the detective called to the scene and Holly vows to stay out of it. But, someone has other plans. Holly begins receiving threatening texts, is being followed, and has her home broken into. Added to all that, her date's family believes she really was his steady girlfriend and wants her to be in on planning the memorial service, a very hunky funeral director begins asking her out, a mysterious long lost relative shows up on her doorstep, and then, another dead body turns up. The only two people Holly knows for sure she can trust are Jamie and Chase. As Chase and Holly get thrown together often, still raw feelings are stirred up. Can Chase and Holly work out their differences and get back on track? Is Drew, the funeral director mixed up in whatever is going on? Is Blake really her cousin or is Holly just being scammed? Holly is conflicted and confused, but determined to figure out why her "date" has photo shopped pictures of them together and why he chose her. And the killer is sure that Holly has evidence that he/she will kill to get back. I received a copy of this book from the author.
