  A MAY DAY PAGEANT TURNS DEADLY WHEN A SNIPER TAKES AIM—AND A WEALTHY MATRIARCH, A BEER BARON'S DAUGHTER IS SHOT. 
   
   
   
  Is it possible that Kiki was the real target? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. 
   
   
   
  After running for her life, Kiki needs a shoulder to cry on. Instead, she gets chewed out by her browbeating mother. But things can always get worse . . . and they do. 
   
   
   
  Kiki's mother-in-law announces that she's getting married, and Kiki's daughter, Anya, becomes unglued. Suddenly, Anya will be the last Lowenstein standing . . . and that's enough to break a young girl's heart. 
   
   
   
  Meanwhile, an old enemy has put out a contract on Kiki. She's worth a lot more dead than alive, which isn't surprising given the state of Kiki's finances. This would be a good time to focus on work at the scrapbooking and craft store—except Kiki can't shake the memory of those sniper shots raining down. 
   
   
   
  While creating a memorial album for the murdered heiress, Kiki discovers murky family politics that could be a motive for murder. With help from friends in high and low places, including hunky beau Chad Detweiler, Kiki finds herself facing a grave ultimatum: catch the killer or be cropped out of her own family album.

  When Bailey's TV producer pitched a reality show about building the factory, Bailey was shocked that the network picked it up.
