Roberta Rich

Tequila Moon

The debut of the smartest, sexiest heroine since Romancing the Stone

Divorce lawyer Izzie Haggerty thought she was too smart to be conned. Then, Mrs. Field walked in—a poor widow with an adorable daughter, a sob story to rip your heart out, and the promise of a rich reward.

Dorothy Field needs Izzie to have her husband declared officially dead so that she can collect the insurance money. She has evidence that her scoundrel husband died in a boating accident—she has  everything but the body. But the insurers won’t pay Dorothy a cool five million without a corpse.

Izzie goes head to head with a pompous colleague and wins the insurance claim. By the time she realizes that she has been suckered and could be disbarred, Izzie is pursuing Dr. and Mrs. Field to Mexico. The merry chase turns deadly when Izzy uncovers a brisk business in designer babies. Her jungle terrors include encounters with dangerous flora and fauna, human and otherwise.

Although Izzie, a thrice-divorced, leggy red-head, has sworn off love, she is tempted by an appealing viticulturist working for a wine company who comes to her rescue.

With its clever, absorbing plot, its witty dialogue, and its high-wire suspense, Tequila Moon introduces two women who will be fixtures on the bestseller lists—Izzie Haggerty and her creator, Roberta Rich.

Roberta Rich, who lives in Vancouver, learned about blood and treachery as a divorce lawyer. She is completing two more novels starring the sexy Izzie Haggerty.
