title: Blaize of Trouble
author: Crawford, Louise
description: Twelve-step counselor and recovering food addict Andrea "Blaize" McCue and Homicide Detective Stephanos Zoloski are one month away from tying the knot, his first step in his let's have a child campaign. Uncertain about marriage and motherhood and hoping to blur Zoloski's focus, Blaize arranges for them to play aunt and uncle to Jenny, a friend's daughter, while her mother, Nicole, an FBI agent, works an important case. When Nicole fails to pick up Jenny as scheduled, Blaize discovers Nicole's been shot. With Nicole lying in a coma, Blaize struggles to cope with all her fears around childcare, the demands of her counseling practice, and her rapidly approaching wedding while trying to locate Jenny's father. Her search leads to former FBI agent, James Quillan, who was convicted in a counterfeit scheme involving the disappearance of thirty million dollars. Now he's in violation of parole, wanted for questioning in the death of two FBI agents, and suspected of hiding in New Mexico on the Navajo reservation. When Jenny's kidnapped, Blaize and Stephanos work together to find Quillan, hoping he will turn over the money to save his daughter-a daughter he never knew he had. Without a second thought, Blaize risks her own life to save Jenny's and discovers that she might have what it takes to be a good mother after all. If she survives.
