Perfect Timing by Valerie J. Patterson
When the timing is perfect, your heart will just know.
When private detective, Danielle Svensen, investigates a case, she does everything she can to solve it. Even if it means sitting surveillance inside a trash can. When her new client, Hank Hennessy, owner of Hennessy Toys, asks her to go undercover, she readily agrees. The pizza parlor beside Hennessy’s flagship store has been causing problems for the toy store. From vandalism and theft to scaring off the night staff. There’re rumors of illegal activity, but no solid proof. The board of directors is threatening to close the store to avoid additional losses caused by the parlor. Hank Hennessy is fighting to prevent his family from losing this huge piece of familial history. Dani’s stellar reputation and ability to solve even the toughest case prompts Hank to hire her. He’s counting on Dani finding the evidence he needs to take down the pizza joint before it puts an end to Hennessy’s. While pulling an all-night stakeout inside the toy store, Dani’s got some guests she wasn’t expecting. Will the new man in her life, Detective Sergeant Edwin Tutlow, come to her rescue?
