Murder Likes It Hot

*This is an advanced uncorrected copy of the book. Please bear in mind that existing errors will be corrected in the final book.*

Newly married yoga instructor Kate Davidson feels stuck in low-energy limbo despite her high-energy life. She's trying to conceive a child, keep her studio afloat now that the ultra-cheap Some Like It Hot Yoga studio has opened across the street, and start a yoga program at a local resource center for homeless youth.

When a center employee is found dead, Kate sets aside her fertility and financial woes to delve into the world of teenage homelessness. While digging for clues with her German shepherd, Bella, Kate discovers that family can be formed by bonds stronger than shared DNA, and she must defend it at all costs.
