Or will their differences doom their budding romance before it has a chance to get off the ground?

Everyone has warned new-minted realtor Savannah Martin that real estate is a cutthroat business. But Savannah doesn’t think she’s supposed to take the warning literally ... until an early morning phone call sends her to an empty house on the ‘bad’ side of town, where she finds herself standing over the butchered body of a competitor, face to face with the boy her mother always warned her about. Rafe Collier is six feet three inches of testosterone and trouble; tall, dark, and dangerous, with a murky past and no future—not the kind of guy a perfect Southern Belle should want to tangle with. In any way. But wherever Savannah turns, there he is, and making no bones about what he wants from her. Now Savannah must figure out who killed real estate queen Brenda Puckett, make a success of her new career, and avoid getting killed—or kissed—by Rafe, all before the money in her savings account runs out and she has to go back to selling make-up at the mall. * Contains an excerpt from HOT PROPERTY, Savannah Martin mystery #2 WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:"With a dose of southern charm and a bad boy you won't want to forget, A CUTTHROAT BUSINESS has enough wit and sexual chemistry to rival Janet Evanovich.""VERDICT: The hilarious dialog and the tension between Savannah and Rafe will delight fans of chick-lit mysteries and romantic suspense.""... mixes up a frothy girl drink of houses, hunks and whodunit narrated in a breezy first person ...

The end is near. The end of Savannah's pregnancy, that is. Less than a month to go, and she'll be the mother of what will surely be the most adorable baby boy or baby girl in the world. But before that, there's Thanksgiving with the Martins to get through. Not to mention a little spot of murder at the group home where Mrs. Jenkins, Savannah's grandmother-in-law, lives.

With Savannah's friend, homicide detective Tamara Grimaldi, investigating, and Savannah's husband Rafe insisting that the detective can't find out about Mrs. Jenkins's involvement, in case she doesn't share his rock-solid belief that Mrs. Jenkins would never kill anyone, Savannah's caught between a rock and a hard place. Can she help Mrs. Jenkins figure out the truth before Detective Grimaldi throws them both in prison... or before...
