A Date with Fate (The Adventures of Anabel Axelrod, #1)

Meet Anabel Axelrod. She’s twenty eight, owns a bookstore, and is one determined, control freak of a woman. She’s decided to take the entire weekend off to have some fun. Except Anabel’s unapologetically single and perfectly uncomplicated life is suddenly upside down with problems!

The cheating love of her life is back in town.
Her family is meddling in her personal business.
An adulterous wife of a good friend has gone missing.
She’s been targeted for death by a homicidal serial rapist.
An evil aunt has gone fanatic.
Her sociopathic cousin has stolen her gun.
The macho police chief is driving her nuts.
And one not-too-tall, deliciously dark, and definitely not handsome stranger is enticing her to break all her ironclad rules on dating in the most intriguing of ways.

Strange things are happening in Northfield, Minnesota. But Anabel’s never met the challenge she won’t stare in the eye while daintily spitting sideways in the dirt. Will Anabel begin to believe that life is never simple, some rules are meant to be broken, and a certain mesmerizing complication may be worth the trouble--even if it kills her?
