Miss P was just disconnecting from a phone call when I pushed through the office door. “Do you believe in happy endings?” I asked, hoping she would restore my faith.

As she re-cradled the phone she gave me a quick perusal. Today she sported vintage Versace—scalloped skirt, lace cami, and fitted jacket—a pair of sensible Ferragamos, hints of gold and diamonds at the appropriate spots, and a knowing look. “I will assume you are not referring to the kind of happy ending men buy from Miss Minnie.”

Her short blond hair was gelled into pointed tips, which I thought sort of matched her personality. Tired of sitting and still a bit antsy, I parked one cheek on the corner of her desk as I glanced through the pile of messages. “Let me rephrase. Do you believe in happily ever after?”

“Are you finding it hard to keep your head when all around you are losing theirs?” Miss P could cut to the heart of the matter even better than Mona, who was an expert at wading through my obfuscation. A peaceful look settled over her face, softening her features. “Love shows up when you stop looking.”

Miss P had been resigned to a life of comfortable solitude when the Beautiful Jeremy Whitlock showed up. Fifteen years her junior, a walking, talking Australian god straight off Bondi beach, and one of Las Vegas’s best private investigators, Jeremy had taken one look at Miss P and lost his heart. Despite all of his obvious assets, kindness was his best feature—proving once again that good things can come in pretty packages.

As if he’d been waiting outside the door for his cue, Jeremy burst into the office. “Hey, Beautiful.” Offering Miss P a perfect yellow tulip, he leaned across the desk and bent to kiss her.

With a soft smile, Miss P put a hand to the side of his face and met him halfway.

“What am I? Chopped liver?” Apparently my words fell on deaf ears. When the phone rang, I reached for it. “Customer Relations, Lucky O’Toole speaking.”

“Lucky, oh I’m so glad I found you.” Mona sounded out of breath.

My heart tripped. “Are you okay?”

“Me? Of course, don’t be silly. I’m here with one of the game show couples and, well, we have a situation.”

“Of course we do.” Mona mixing with the reality folks... God help us all.

“You don’t understand. They’re going to call the police.”

That got my attention. “Where are you?”

“Smokin’ Joe’s Sex Emporium.”
