Midnight Ice

This is a standalone prequel to the Madison Night Mad for Mod Mysteries.

Ice, ice, baby!

She has a broken heart. He has a secret. Can a jilted decorator outsmart a suspected jewel thief?

When Doris Day-loving decorator Madison Night crosses the country to distance herself from a breakup, she learns it's harder to escape her past than she thought. The man who broke her heart turns up in the unlikeliest place -- the hotel lobby. His presence is unnerving; winning her back does not seem to be on his agenda.

Questions about his motivation keep Madison from fleeing the hotel, but a recent knee injury hinders her mobility. She adopts a temporary disguise thanks to a luggage mix-up, but when threatening thugs, FBI agents, and a shipment of rare diamonds thrust her into danger, anonymity is the least of her concerns.

Can Madison keep her cool while spying on her ex, or will her curiosity put her on ice?

MIDNIGHT ICE is the prequel to the unique Madison Night Mystery Series. If you like resourceful sleuths, unusual crimes, and forty-something protagonists, you'll love this action-packed novella.
