Paperback. Zustand: Like New. Kate Dailey's life is built on three unshakeable beliefs: Taylor Swift's music is the ultimate cure, 'Happily Ever After' doesn't exist, and Jason Cole is the last person on earth she wants to see again. Growing up in a small town, Jase was her first everything - kiss, friend, and beacon of hope through her darkest days, especially with her father's battles with alcoholism. But when Jase shattered her heart, Kate left everything behind, including him and the memories of fireflies and Magnolia trees. Now, six years later, Kate has carved out a new existence in NYC, armed with a sassy pup and a dream job at Q Magazine. Yet, when family duty calls her back home to confront her past, including the boy next door who became the man she loves to hate, Kate's carefully constructed world starts to wobble.

In a story where heartbreak and hope collide, Kate must decide if she's willing to risk everything for a shot at true happiness, or if some wounds are just too deep to heal. Can the melodies of Taylor Swift guide her towards her own 'Happily Ever After,' or will Kate find that some things, like her love for Jase, are too persistent to ignore. …

Paperback. Zustand: Like New. In the colourful chaos of New Orleans, Chase Harlem has three essentials for happiness: her trusted red Converse, a reliable taser, and a good sense of humor to survive it all. All she wants is a simple life - morning jogs in cemeteries, jazz that soothes the soul, and enough quirky cases to pay the bills without summoning her FBI past. But when a priest waltzes into her office with a divine mandate to crack a grisly double homicide involving an LSU football star and his actress girlfriend, Chase's plans for peace get thrown out like last week's gumbo, especially when the priest's estranged son lands square in the NOPD's crosshairs. With her best friend, a 'maybe' boyfriend, and a teenage neighbor who's too curious for her own good, Chase dives headfirst into a case that reminds her why she took up drinking in the first place. From jazz joints to voodoo shops, Chase Harlem's escapades through the Big Easy are a mix of mayhem and mirth as she juggles clues, cocktails, and the occasional alligator. Can she crack the case before it cracks her, or will she end up as the city's next ghost tour attraction? In this puzzle through the Crescent City, author Elise Burke Brown serves up a gumbo of mystery, mischief, and a side of sass that'll leave readers thinking of the story long after the final page turns.…
