by Adrienne Giordano
DOG COLLAR CHAOS Lucie Rizzo--Mafia princess-turned-dog accessory entrepreneur—is riding high after scoring a partnership with Buzzy Sneider, America's leading craft and interior decorating mogul. A collaboration that is sure to move Lucie's fledgling business into the next tax bracket. When Buzzy turns up dead and Lucie's BFF and business partner, Roseanne, is accused of the murder, Lucie will stop at nothing to prove Ro's innocence. Even if it means keeping secrets from her new squeeze, sexy detective Tim O'Brien, who's determined to keep Lucie from running one of her screwball investigations. With Ro behind bars and Tim hot under the collar over Lucie's meddling, Lucie is forced to accept her father's help to clear Ro’s name and save their business. But will doing so put a killer hot on her heels? DOG COLLAR CUISINE Entrepreneur Lucie Rizzo is determined to grow her small dog walking/upscale pet accessory business to Fortune 500 status. But leaving behind her Mafia Princess title isn't as easy as she'd like. When Lucie lands a dog-walking gig for one of Chicago's media-obsessed top chefs, she knows his high-profile status might shine the limelight on her business as well. At least until the chef's secret and equally famous casserole recipe winds up in the wrong hands and Lucie is accused of swiping it. With her ties to the mob casting a shadow over her reputation, Lucie assembles her whacky crew of amateur sleuths and her sexy detective boyfriend to go on a hunt for the real thief. Can Lucie solve this culinary mystery before the cops slap the cuffs on her?

While enroute to the Florida Keys, a pit stop to see Tim's uncle at his retirement community draws Lucie into a temporary dog-walking gig for the man's girlfriend. Lucie is happy to help until she discovers the pampered pooches' mistress isn't all that she appears. With a nose for trouble, Lucie can't resist the lure of a good mystery. She soon realizes she's picked up the scent of a missing person who will do anything to protect a secret.
