A Case Gone Cold by Stella Marie Alden

My first mistake was passing the detective’s exam.

Because of my audacity, my boss throws me a dozen cold cases. “You think you’re such hot shit, solve these.”
Sweating, I try to cherry pick one that could save my job. While I’m deciding, a gorgeous woman steps into the bar and pushes a file under my nose.
Repressed memories? Ah, hell, no. Kill me now.
However, after several attempts on her life and mine, I decide a second look may be warranted. Soon, it becomes clear. Her mother’s death was no accident and her stepfather, the assistant DA, is our prime suspect.
Adrenaline, hormones, a potty-mouthed parrot, and a virgin? Does this sound like a recipe for romance? I think not but what the hell do I know?
