What The Lady Wants

Jennifer Crusie

romantic comedy(7k)

A cynical PI didn't expect his next case to come with the most complicated — and compelling — client he's ever met.

Description

Mitch Peabody was learning pretty fast that the life of a private detective was nothing like the movies. He'd envisioned a world of tough-talking detectives and smart-mouthed, stunning dames. Instead he saw case after case of cheating husbands, suspicious wives and unsuspecting mistresses...until she walked through the door.
