Confessions of a red herring / by Dratch, Dana.;
"As a reporter, she's used to covering the news. Now she's the headline. Alex Vlodnachek has been a reporter for 12 years, a P.R. rep for three months, and a murder suspect for all of 24 hours. When her agency's double-dealing CEO is stabbed, scheming co-workers cast the new redhead as a compelling red herring. The story is media catnip -- especially her salacious nickname -- Vlod the Impaler. Even Alex has to admit she looks guilty. Out of a job and under suspicion, Alex is running low on cash, when she's visited by a second disaster -- her family. Soon her tiny bungalow is bursting with her nearest and not-so-dearest. To keep herself out of jail -- and save what's left of her sanity -- Alex returns to her reporting roots. She goes undercover to reclaim her life, break the story, and unmask a murderer. Pretty much in that order. What she doesn't know: The killer also has a to-do list. And Alex is on it."--

Alex Vlodnachek's life would be bliss, her freelance career is catching fire, she is in a relationship with B&B owner Ian Sterling. She's even attending a glittering cocktail party at his sprawling Victorian inn. But, to this ex-reporter, something seems "off." And it's not the canapés. When Ian's father vanishes, the enigmatic innkeeper asks for her discretion. And her assistance. Meanwhile, Alex is having the opposite problem at her tiny bungalow: People keep piling in uninvited. Including a mysterious intruder found sleeping in her kitchen... her grandmother, Baba, who shows up "to help"--with Alex's own mother hot on her heels. When the intrepid redhead discovers a body in the B&B's basement and a "reproduction" Renoir in the library, she begins to suspect that Ian is more than just a simple hotel owner. With editor pal Trip, brother Nick, and rescue-pup Lucy riding shotgun, Alex scrambles to stay one step ahead of disaster--and some very nasty characters.

With every intention (and a three-point plan) of winning back what she's lost, Kate needs one summer at home to prove she's worthy of New York. Meanwhile, Miles Hoffman--aka "The Prince of Sea Point"--has also returned home to show his mother that he's capable of taking over the family business, and he's promised to help his childhood best friend, Ziggy Miller, with his own financial struggles at the same time. Kate, Miles, and Ziggy converge in Sea Point just as the town faces an identity crisis of its own when a developer tries to cash in on its potential. As the summer swells, white lies, and long-buried secrets prove as corrosive as the salt air, threatening to forever erode not only the bonds between the three friends but also the landscape of the beachside community they call home"--

But when she arrives in Toronto, she must navigate a series of bewildering and careless employers and unruly children.

Beautifully narrated by the all-seeing eye of Mary Grace's newborn baby, The Story of Us is a novel about sisterhood, about blood and chosen family, and about how belonging can be found where we least expect it."--Provided by publisher.
