Slay It With Flowers
by Kate Collins
Me, Abby Knight, an entrepreneur! Who would have guessed when I flunked out of law school a year ago that I'd be standing here today in front of Bloomers, my very own flower shop. Even though I may be penniless, I am soundly devoted to my new profession—whether it means arranging a bouquet of flowers—or unearthing the seeds of murder...
Abby's latest gig is the perfect marriage of her talents. Not only does her bride-to-be cousin Jillian want Abby to be a bridesmaid, she also wants her to sign on as floral designer—and sleuth...
Jillian has agreed to marry a different man nearly once a year, and has yet to make it to the altar. But this time, it's cold dead feet that may stop the wedding. Before the couple says, "I do," one of the groomsmen disappears—and soon, another member of the wedding party is found dead. Luckily for Abby, she has plenty of help— including her brassy been-there-done-that assistant (who's also a mother of quadruplets), a hunky bar owner with a penchant for love and justice, and her own carrot-topped family. Together, they aim to unveil the truth...and make sure the bride still gets her day to shine.
