Nell Dysart's boring life is spiced up when she begins working for a small detective agency and finds herself involved in a baffling case.

Nell Dysart's in trouble. Her divorce is 18 months old, she's been sleepwalking through life, and the best job she can get is with a detective agency that specializes in relationship work. Determined to turn her life around, Nell flings herself into making McKenna Investigations a better place. On day one, she uncovers an embezzler. On day two, she turns up bribery. On day three, she has sex with the wrong man. On day four, she steals a dog. On day five, her boss tries to fire her. And fails miserably. Because even Gabe McKenna has to admit that no matter how much he hates the confusion she's brought into his life, Nell shares his passion for making things right. It's not long before they share another passion, one they can't ignore, even in the face of distractions like adultery, blackmail, arson, murder, and really bad business cards.

Nell Dysart takes a job as a secretary for a detective agency that is going nowhere.
