My hubby bought an Instant Pot and said it wasn’t a present for me because he knew I would throw it at him if it was. He said it was on sale and couldn’t pass up the good deal. I still think he bought it for me. It would be an awesome gift, but I hate cooking. REALLY REALLY HATE cooking. Look at that. I didn’t even capitalize the word cooking because I hate it so much. When my youngest basset (who really hates my cooking) said to me he had a homework assignment that involved cooking, you know I was thrilled. I thought this would be a good time to try out the Instant Pot. I wont tell you how it went. Instead I will let you read how it went in my baby basset’s own opening sentence in his report. “On Monday night my mom and I decided to make lasagna for dinner. It didn’t go well.”

When a man careens off the road into the frigid waters of the Chautauqua River, Chief Detective David Wolf risks his own life to bring the man to shore. News of Wolf’s bravery travels fast through the burgeoning ski town of Rocky Points, Colorado, and before long he’s pulled into the political grinder, where candidates are eager to exploit Wolf’s character for their own gain. Injured as well in the process, it seems his heroic deed was some cruel twist of fate, that is, until he meets Lauren Coulter, a new girl in town and a nurse at the local hospital.
Lauren is smart, beautiful, and just Wolf’s type. The connection between them is there. But just as they get started, so does the killing. And as bodies start emerging, so do the secrets from Lauren’s troubled past.
Has fate steered Wolf to the wrong woman? Or is someone more devious behind the wheel? Lives will depend on how fast Wolf can come up with the answer, and this time, living with failure will prove to be something much worse than death.
