Court reporter Renee Rose found out the hard way that hooking up with a cop is like a bikini wax - it starts off hot, turns painful, and ends in tears. But when her best friend receives an email, supposedly from her long-dead fiancé, demanding money, Renee knows they need help. Too bad help comes in the form of Detective Anthony Graciano, an annoying, bossy cop who somehow manages to haul Renee's libido out of dry dock. Police work is more than a career to Anthony, it's an obsession.

Renee Rose was assigned to the newest judge in the 29th Judicial Circuit. Surrounded by murderers, rapists, and thieves (who are almost never in a good mood), at the whim of cranky judges, obnoxious attorneys, and baton-happy guards, being a court reporter is not your average job. At 44, still single 10 years after the divorce, still having fuzzy thoughts about her ex-husband even though she can't stand him, Renee leans hard on black humor to get through her day.
