Hot Off the Press

Veronika Layne is a sassy, tattooed forty-something (okay, 49) newspaper reporter who never saw herself working for a big corporation. When her small town weekly paper is swallowed up by Singh Media Group, that's exactly what happens. Further complicating her job, a new reporter has been hired from the competing paper, and while he's terribly attractive, he is the competition. Stuck writing fluff pieces that might as well be ads, Veronika can't resist digging into rumors that a local real estate developer is destroying Native American burial grounds. Warned away by her editor, who is not a supporter of investigative journalism, Veronika worries that her story may never see the light of day. And who knows what trouble these fantasies of a mid-life romance with her competitor will cause her-especially with her best friend Aiden?
