The Hitwoman and the Mother Load

Book excerpt: You think you've got problems? Don't talk to Maggie Lee about problems. Her mother's escaped from the loony bin, and rumor has it she's robbing people for ice cream money. A mob boss is insisting she liberate his daughter from a mental hospital that Maggie's pretty sure she belongs in. And people keep trying to kill her. While Maggie deals with all that, she must also contend with her dysfunctional family; the challenges of parenting her orphaned niece; a handsome, but dangerously curious reporter; a hot manny who lives under her roof and gets under her skin; a smooth and sexy con man; and a certain murder mentor/cop redhead. And, honestly, it's getting too much to bear. Good thing she has her talking animals to confide in. But with everything that's going on, can the intrepid, yet inept, hitwoman figure out how to keep everyone she loves safe without ending up in jail or killed? Or will she just take up residence in a rubber room herself? Truth be told, she could use the break.
