As the new senior producer of the celebrated daytime gabfest Paula Live, May Morrison can barely juggle her time among her job, her two precocious daughters, and a post-Victorian dream house that's coming apart faster than her failed marriage did. But after rival talk-show producers start dropping faster than Nielsen ratings after sweeps week, the police believe May is behind their permanent cancellations. Then things get worse than a bad-hair day: every piece of evidence that criminally handsome Detective Paul O'Donnell has collected points to her. As the NYPD task force closes in, May realizes that someone has targeted her to take the fall. Now she's going to have to outwit a homicidal maniac who wants her dead, while resisting the arresting charms of one cop who wants her in prison, and another who simply wants her.
