Stand By Your Man by Canadian author Bobby Hutchinson, 1st in her Running Wild trilogy of f/m contemporary quote-unquote "romantic comedy mystery", this installment starring a PI who must prove her sister's criminal fiancée to be
innocent not guilty of the particular crime he's currently accused of, only she's not particularly inclined to do so, were it not for his peskily hot brother who also wants him freed. This is newly written, but Hutchinson is former Harlequin Superromance author, and she also offers another free ebook title if you sign up for her newsletter (instructions inside her freebie, though the link is giving me a 500 error page at the moment).
SHE'S A PRIVATE DETECTIVE, AND HER SISTER FRANCIE'S IN LOVE WITH A CRIMINAL!
Francie wants Maddie to prove Sebastian's innocent, but the Seattle Police have proof that he's guilty.
Sebastian's brother, Finn, has hired Maddie to find out the truth and set his brother free.
Finn makes Maddie's blood boil and her bells ring--and she's truly, madly, deeply in love with his little daughter, Zoe. And she's pretty certain Sebastian is guilty as charged, so she’s trying her best not to find evidence to the contrary. She's doing the exact opposite of what Finn hired her to do, betraying the guy she—well, the guy she’s supposed to be working for, the guy she just might, maybe, almost be falling for because---
Maddie's parental units, the cop and the judge, want Sebastian safely in jail, and Francie somewhere safe-like a nunnery? And they want Maddie to make it happen.
Can a good honest detective play both ends against the middle without getting hoist on her own petard?
