“No way. I’m not letting you go!” Rayne blocked the front door.

She’d wake the whole house up. “Shhh, I have a lease and bills to pay. I have to go,” Dixie reminded her friend, standing in the luxurious front entry of Marg Cobbs’ home.

Before last night, Rayne, who was a little younger than Dixie, was her only real friend in San Diego. Because of her, she’d found a tribe of interesting women.

“I’m not letting you go to work.” Rayne crossed her arms. “Until CDR Hunter catches Chandler Phallus,”—they’d shortened the name Nina came up with—“it’s dangerous just walking to your car. Which, I might add, you don’t have.”

“I called a cab.” Dixie adjusted her purse strap over her shoulder.

“You heard him on the phone last night. He’s crazy.”

Quiet footsteps on the polished tile meant Rayne had woken someone up. The pajama party last night had been fun and she appreciated the women’s concern, but Dix couldn’t hide out at Marg’s lavish home forever. Although that’s what was offered.

“Morning,” Kayla said, combing her fingers through her thick curls.

Dixie narrowed an eye at Rayne. “Sorry for waking you, Kayla.”

She waved her off. “Rayne is correct. Cancel the cab.”

“I have a business to run. Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to sit on my laurels.”

Kayla nodded and swung around when Nina staggered into the entry.

“Wow.” She pressed the heel of her palm to her temple. “One too many tequila shooters last night.”

Kayla grinned. “Just one?”

“Critic,” Nina fired back.

“Tell her she can’t go,” Rayne said, still standing in the way of Dixie’s exit route.

“Sure.” Nina blinked. “Don’t go.” She paused. “Don’t go where?”

“Dixie thinks she’s opening the Erotic Bean this morning.”

“Hmm.” The tall, lean redhead, whose hair was tied up in a ponytail, wrinkled her brow. “Yeah, coffee. Great idea. Let’s go get some. But I need a quick shower first.”

Dixie watched, amused at the women’s relaxed banter. “It’s on the house whenever you come by.”

Kayla nodded. “Not a bad idea, Nina.”

“Huh?” She sniffed her pits. “I don’t stink.”

Kayla snorted. “That’s debatable. No, I’m talking about hanging out at the Erotic Bean. In fact, Dixie is going to hire me. You and Rayne will saunter in for Sunday morning java soon after opening.

A new face appeared. Her strawberry hair with silver streaks a sign that Kate, Fox’s wife, was the oldest of the women. “And what am I doing?

Only a few steps behind Kate, Marg appeared wearing turquoise satin pajamas. “Babysitting, by the sounds of it.”

Kate grinned. “And have the run of your palace…don’t have to ask me twice.”

Marg Cobbs rubbed her neck, then stretched. “Lumin is checking on the kids. Think they were up later than they should have been. The girls are sleeping on the floor in what looks like a blanket tent. Boys are out cold.

Dixie had to laugh when Lumin appeared with Marg’s daughter, Kelsey, and Nina’s daughter, Gabbs. The girls leaned against her sides, walking with a sleepy stagger while rubbing their eyes.

“I’m hungry, Mom,” Kelsey griped.

“You’re not even awake yet, young lady.
