Full of laughs, hijinks, and a bit of steam, Gator Queen is a cozy mystery plus romance fusion perfect for fans of Arsenic and Adobo and To Have and to Heist
 
"You're the girl who traps gators?" Even in the quirky town of Wahoo, Florida, twenty-five-year-old Maggie Andrews is an anomaly—a petite but determined female gator trapper who isn't afraid to get dirty. But to fulfill her father's dying wish, Maggie left her job at the Boston Zoo to take over the family business and reunite with her twin sister Vera.
 
Enter Jack Bianchi—a criminology professor from Miami who is renting a room from the twins. Jack's smart, good with Maggie's kitten, and hot as hell. But while Maggie's debating whether she has time for a steamy fling, Vera's getting into hot water. When a rival gator trapper turns up dead in a swamp full of bullets from Vera's stolen gun, she's the prime suspect.
 
Maggie and Jack naturally pair up to investigate... And, to keep from arousing the suspicions of Vera's sketchy boyfriend, pretend to pair up romantically. It turns out that fake dating and finding a killer are more dangerous than trapping an angry twelve-footer, but Maggie isn't about to let her family's legacy, Vera's fledgling romance bookstore, or her situationship with Jack go down without a fight.

Critters & Criminals

Gator Queen

Solving murders, kissing criminology professors, and just the right amount of alligators combine in Swamp Princess, the cozy mystery + romance follow up to Gator Queen.
 
Maggie Andrews is swamped—literally—as she tries to balance running her family's gator trapping business, "defining the relationship" with tattooed professor Jack Bianchi, and helping her twin sister Vera with her bookstore.
 
When she's invited to speak at a conference about the dangers hunting for cryptids in gator-infested waters, she assumes it's a joke she doesn't have time for. But it's all too real; hundreds of Bigfoot fans are sure that their monster has migrated to the swamps of Florida. Against her better judgement, Maggie agrees to lead a group of them on a small expedition. And it's going well—until a cryptozoology influencer ends up dead.<
 
With her twin sister Vera dating the town's only homicide detective (and Maggie's own sparks still flying with criminology professor Jack), she has an in on solving murders. But navigating conspiracy theories, petty jealousies, and Bigfoot sightings make the investigation even more complicated than last time. Plus, she's gotta figure out - is Jack just along for the crime-solving ride and a summer fling, or are they playing for keeps?
