Now that she’s in charge, she’s determined never to risk her heart again. Except every time Celia enters the room, she takes Helena’s breath away. But the one time someone stays… Celia Perri likes to be helpful. She just wants to run the family auto shop, raise her kids, and help her brother plan his wedding. But when a drive-by shooting targets the garage, Celia’s simple life is upended. Now ensconced within the Madigan family, there’s no escaping Helena, the blonde bombshell she’s been crushing on for months. It could cost her everything. As the Madigans investigate, Celia witnesses their love and loyalty up close. And their business. Instead of being afraid, she sees a place for herself among them.

And if only someone would stop shooting at them long enough to find out. Queen’s Ransom is the fourth book in the Fog City romantic suspense series.
