Blades Over Breakfast (The Breakfast Murder Club Series)

Clara Hayes looks ordinary. Predictable. Boring.
At least, that is what her ex decided when he walked out of a Dallas diner with her cousin on his arm. What he never knew is that Clara is far more than the quiet food safety consultant she appears to be. Her steady routines and meticulous habits are just a mask, one that hides sharper instincts and secrets she has no intention of revealing.

Beau Maddox has his own double life. To Harrington, Texas, he is just a rancher with a southern drawl and dimples you could lose yourself in. Behind the cowboy charm is a mercenary with a reputation for getting his hands dirty. When his latest job takes him into the city, a chance encounter at a diner leaves him intrigued by the woman who hides her fire behind a cool facade.

They never expect to see each other again-until Orion assigns them the same target. Red Haven Foods is more than a corporate giant, and both Clara and Beau are sent to bring it down. But their factions have very different objectives, and trust is a luxury neither can afford.

Sparks fly fast and sharp, their banter cutting as deep as their blades. The closer they get to Red Haven, the more tangled their lies and their hearts become.

In a world where loyalty is a weapon and love is a liability, Clara and Beau must decide if they can trust each other or if one will betray the other before breakfast is over.
