Best-selling crime author Mike Rice - or Miz Mike to her friends - is by nature inquisitive. (Or meddling, to her friends.) She also has a heart of compassion that gets her into trouble time and again, and her inability to really hear what God is saying to her doesn't help! So when a beautiful young stranger begs her to investigate the death of her sister, Mike is soon not-too-reluctantly embroiled in a mystery that involves the whole town of Three Prongs. She finds herself rapidly immersed in the illicit subculture in Texas Hill County - from dog fights to kidnappings, jealousy and murder - and her life is thrown into chaos as she takes in two troubled youngsters, to boot. And that's without the animals thrown in!

Mike's crazy crush on the town heart-throb, retired film star and rodeo champion Marty Richards, fuels her impossible fantasies about the two of them hooking up. But when he does finally ask her out, her need to track down culprits and bring them to justice gets in the way every time. Will they finally settle on a date and keep it? And more importantly, will Mike's M&M fantasies ever grow roots in a real relationship?

BRIDGE TO NOWHERE is the first book in the Miz Mike series.
