The Fashionable P.I. — Rida Allen

Do clothes really make the woman? For Jordan Devereaux, President of Devereaux Designs, the answer is most certainly yes. Having taken over the upscale women's clothing company from her father, she lives and breathes high fashion design. Although the company was her father's baby and she knows she'll support his dream no matter what, catering to the wealthy and elite feels empty to Jordan. What she really wants is a way to give back to the community, to fill her heart with something meaningful. Being the eldest of five in a close-knit, supportive family, she knows exactly how lucky she is, so when she tries to volunteer her time at a runaway shelter and stumbles onto a family in crisis, she finds her calling. Then a friend in need asks for her help and with her private investigator experience, she jumps at the chance. Is it nature or nurture? Jack Morgan really had no answer for that question, though he and his adoptive mother asked it often enough during his youth. At age fourteen, the question is suddenly moot because he is once again left alone in life. He finds his way into adulthood on his own and after a failed attempt at a long-term relationship, Jack decides it is easiest to live alone, to be alone. But a spur-of-the-moment decision and a chance meeting changes his life, bringing him closer than ever to his deepest desire and his darkest fear.
