December 07, 2004: Jacinda 'Jacey' Wheeler has given up her boring life as a debutante and is now the brains behind a successful P.I. firm. Jacey has two employees. Joan is her secretary. Lucky helps with the cases. .............................................. Luc 'Lucky' Boucher (Boo-shin) worked as one of Vinny's street thugs until a few years ago. Once Lucky was hired by Jacey he began using his street smarts and connections to help complete their cases. ............................................ They are both attracted to each other. To Jacey, Lucky's bayou charm and dark aura is striking. To Lucky, Jacey is too high class for someone like himself. Yet he admires her wit, dedication to her job, and she is drop dead gorgeous. Therefore, they are only business associates. Yet during their three years together they have become very good friends. ............................................. Now that is all about to change. A local shipping magnate, J. Walter Garvey is dying. The strong willed man refuses to tell his family and is close to none of them. He hires Jacey to investigate all his family members so he may decide which of them, if any, he will leave the running of his empire to. To make things complicated, word has somehow leaked out about Garvey hiring Jacey and why. None of the family members look great, but one of them is connected to Vinny. The simple research case has just become deadly. ............................................. ***** There are two sub-plots running underneath the main one to keep things lively in this story. Jacey has a problem with an ex-boyfriend and Lucky has a dark secret he would rather Jacey never found out about. It all comes together to make a spectacular tale that will highly entertain readers and deserves the full five stars! *****
