#1 Sinking Ships
Twenty-year-old Leslie Greene finds a way to solve her money woes. Having had four contract marriages, her friend Jen assures Leslie that nothing will go wrong.
After signing with the Abishag agency (a firm that supplies temporary wives to comfort dying men), Leslie marries a comatose 83-year-old executive. Always the analyst, she calculates she’ll be a widow before Fall semester. Three weeks of training and armed with the Handbook for Abishag Wives, Leslie arrives at Thomas Crowder’s Palos Verdes home…and finds a murdered hospice aide.
An old Portuguese shipwreck, an antique stack of hidden ledgers, her university housemates and a red-haired agency lawyer are all that stand between Leslie and a vengeful killer.
#2 Indelible Beats
Twenty-year-old college student Leslie Greene believes that dating a handsome lawyer is a fairy tale come true. Unfortunately, he demands her wardrobe be enchanting too.
Broke again, Leslie returns to her former job as an Abishag wife (temporary wives who comfort dying men). This time she chooses comatose artist Jordan Ippel, who is expected to die by Christmas in his La Jolla home.
Besides finding a forged painting and losing the cook, Leslie, her university housemates, and an old friend must unmask a killer to save the reputation of her husband.
#3 Riddle in Bones
Flush with funds from her last Abishag contract, 20-year-old Leslie Greene is sorting mule bones alongside a revered professor of physical anthropology and Sebastian, grandson of her first comatose husband. A shot rings out and her summer internship spins into a third Abishag marriage for Leslie.
Pressured by the agency, her ex-boyfriend, and her parents, Leslie takes on another nearly-dead husband this time in California’s Palm Desert. Someone shot Henry over an ancient love affair, a mysterious box of bones, or rivalry in the field. Leslie is determined to discover the truth and bring her husband peace in his last days.
Dealing with the trauma of the past year, the sweltering heat, and Sebastian’s hot French housekeeper, Leslie and Kat must solve a dangerous riddle in bones before the killer shoots again.
#4 An Eggshell Present
When a close friend needs an Abishag wife, romantic rationalist Leslie Greene is in danger again—this time of losing her family, her heart, and her life.
While caring for her fourth (and final) comatose husband, Leslie and her friends must delve into her father’s campaign finances, solve a cold murder case, decipher a cryptic last message, and face an old enemy.
Not to mention what happens when her husband wakes.
