Miss Fix-It (Paperback)

Veronica, a self confessed girly-girl, often finds herself labeled a bimbo--and just doesn't care. An ex-economist turned handy-person, Vee is not afraid to be female, period. If it happens to be in a male-dominated industry, well - so what? When Vee threatens a client with a hammer to ward off his wandering hands, she finds herself at the local police station facing charges of assault. There she meets Detective Cole Samuels, and the sparks thrown off by their mutual animosity soon become combustive. They quickly become involved in a hot and heavy relationship, leaping one hurdle after another, including Cole's emotionally destitute mother and Vee's deep-seated fear of being cheated on. Things finally seem to be working out when Vee's workplace is vandalized, a message left...and suddenly that crank call and the near-miss with the crazy driver don't seem to be harmless incidents any more. Vee's stalker rapidly escalates in violence, leaving Cole determined to find him before Vee gets hurt....
