Die Before You Wake

What do you get when you combine a coma-inducing career, an ardent academic, and a nefarious nemesis?

A Vicki Bohanan hangover cocktail.

Your favorite bartender babe is back and cutting a trail through a new vocation, with a college class tucked between briefs instead of sheets, and an alarm clock in two – er, tow. It's no secret that a sleep-deprived Vicki is a volatile Vicki.

Especially when a certain Texas Ranger goes MIA.

And her first official case involves one pageanted Padget accused of murder.

Even as her recently resuscitated relationship with Zeke Taylor hits a skid mark visible from the International Space Station, it's up to Vicki to put aside old rivalries to rescue a former beauty queen from the guillotine – and all before her secret pops out.

Witness the cat fur hit the fan as the claws come out in book four of the Bartender Babe Chronicles. Apparently Garfield's not the only one who hates mornings.
