Boosted Mob princess turned entrepreneur Lucie Rizzo knows that when you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up. Despite her family's unshakable criminal reputation, Lucie's new business is booming. And for once her love life isn't far behind. Lucie devotes her days to building the Coco Barknell brand, but her nights are all about roguishly sexy Tim O'Brien. At least they will be if she and Detective O'Hottie finally take their relationship to the next level. But bring an Irish cop home to her mobster father? Fuggetaboutit. Then Lucie's knack for finding trouble lands her in hot water-and the six o'clock news. Someone's absconded with a million-dollar piece of cinematic costume history, with Lucie the only witness to the crime. Not to mention the prime suspect. To clear her name, she'll need an assist from her entire wacky crew: friends, family...and future (hopefully) lover.
Whacked Paris. Milan. New York. Franklin, Illinois? Aspiring design mogul and reluctant mob princess Lucie Rizzo dreams of taking the fashion world by storm. As the wisest of wiseguys will tell you, to go big, you have to start small. A local charity fashion show provides the perfect chance to shine the spotlight on Coco Barknell. And the opportunity to work with the Don Corleone of pet products, Buzzy Sneider. But Buzzy didn't earn that rank by being nice. When Lucie's Coco Barknell designs start appearing on Buzzy's website, Lucie wants to wring her thieving neck. Until somebody beats her to it. A dead celebrity plus a very public feud can only add up to trouble for a girl named Rizzo. Except it's not Lucie the cops put behind bars, but her BFF-hotheaded creative diva, Roseanne. The evidence may be stacked against Ro, but Lucie and her zany crew will never let her go down without a fight!
