description: TARA COLE SPECIALIZES IN REVENGE
  
  In fact, she's an expert. Lace pillows filled with cat hair--for your least-favorite, most allergic relative; boxer shorts that set off metal detectors--for your cheating spouse; and her best seller at Revenge Gifts: chocolates for your worst enemy, so you can watch gleefully as she packs on the pounds.
  
  Tara's best friend warns her that all this revenge is damaging her karma, but Tara doesn't care about her next life--she wants to enjoy this one. Besides, her kitchen is full of cranky ghosts. Tara figures she'll be the same one day, when she leaves the mortal plane.
  
  That might happen sooner than she thought, because someone has put a curse on her. A black cat, a black dog, even a black goat, appear, each followed by bizarre, almost-disastrous events. And it all started around the time Howard showed up. Howard says he wants to go into business with Tara, but it seems like he wants to go to bed with her. Unless he's the one who cursed her....
  
  Is this karma coming full circle--or destiny knocking on Tara's door?
