SCALES OF JUSTICE (LEGAL BEAGLE #1)
Pepper Sullivan is in trouble. She just moved back to her beachside hometown of Misty-on-the-Sound from New York City to open her own law office. Her real passion is singing, but practicing law is her bread and butter. Now the only other attorney in Misty (and the guy everybody knows she hates) has fallen off a balcony and died—or was he pushed? Pepper digs deep to solve the mystery with the help of her legal beagle Mr. Woogles, her former boyfriend who’s now the sheriff, and her interfering mom. Along the way, she deals with the challenge of an old house, wacky clients, and the hot Italian doctor who buys the place next door. With a song in her heart and dogged determination, will Pepper be able to solve the case and absolve the innocent? |
TREBLE WITH THE LAW (LEGAL BEAGLE #2)
Pepper Sullivan just solved the first murder that quiet Misty-on-the-Sound has seen in decades with the help of her trusty canine companion, Mr. Woogles. Everything should calm down now, so she can get back to building her law practice and spending her free time belting out Broadway songs. But when the town’s richest and most famous son, Everett Pursley the Third, comes back to lead the “Lights on the Sound” parade of boats on Labor Day weekend, tragedy strikes again. The millionaire’s wife is found drowned. Was it an accident? As usual, Pepper’s one-time boyfriend Sheriff Logan Bateman needs her help to figure out what happened--but he doesn’t want it. When her gorgeous next-door neighbor, Dr. Angelo D’Amore, provides an unexpected clue, Logan seems a mite jealous. And Pepper can’t get far enough away from the pesky new guy in town, Josh Devlin. Nevertheless, the attributes of all three potential “suitors” are gleefully dissected by Pepper’s nosy and noisy mother. In the end, Pepper must harness all her skills as a sleuth to uncover the culprit and unravel the mystery of the lady who was launched. |
