First, there’s her ongoing relationship with the gorgeous detective, the man who drives her crazy outside of the bedroom and, well, equally as crazy inside the bedroom.

And then there’s Kelly Martin, a budding young artist that Maggie has taken under her wing. But one night, Kelly’s running scared and it’s up to Maggie to find out what has happened and who is out to hurt her. It’s Maggie at her best…sarcastic, funny, independent and vulnerable…all rolled up in one memorable package. less
