When Pauline Sokol goes undercover to investigate fraud at a weight loss clinic, resisting chocolate is her biggest dilemma . . . until someone is murdered.   Pauline Sokol, ex-RN turned medical insurance–fraud investigator, finds herself embroiled in a scam at a weight loss clinic in the scenic New Mexico desert. As if going undercover in a heavyweight body suit isn't bad enough, she's not allowed to eat sweets . . . and her roommate turns out to be a mysterious—and very hot—man.   It seems to be an open-and-shut case, but Pauline isn't the only undercover investigator on the scene. And when a reporter turns up dead, it's up to Pauline to solve the case—with a little help from her handsome, but incorrigible, colleague, Jagger. Pauline knows the clock is ticking—and it's not just counting down the minutes until she can eat chocolate again.
