A collection of projects to sew for your favourite little one.
Adrienne Hargrove has always been aware that humans are fragile creatures walking an egg-shell thin line between innocence and deviance. Her own life is a chain of guilt from poor choices she’s made. But as a private investigator in the Deep South, she thought she had seen it all. That was before she was hired by Catriona Kirby, wife of Galen Kirby, a doctor in a small Louisiana town. Adrienne knew she was looking into the possibility the doctor was involved in a drug scam with the sheriff. She even knew there was a possibility the doctor was involved in the murder of an ex-girlfriend. What she never imagined was that Dr. Galen Kirby was a serial killer and deeply involved in a baby black market scheme. And in their wildest nightmares neither Adrienne nor Catriona could have imagined that he was producing his own babies to sell.
