Kate Winters, author of the popular mystery series The Masters, finds herself in a bit of a predicament - she doesn't seem to be able to write any longer. So when her old friend and wealthy widow Brenda invites Kate to spend the summer in Coyote, New Mexico, Kate decides that a summer in Coyote might be just what she needs to clear her writer's block. Leaving behind the Dallas heat - and her girlfriend Robin - Kate retreats to the high mountain desert and soon finds herself surrounded by Brenda's eccentric friends and artists. But it's the local sheriff, Lee Foxx, who soon grabs her attention. It doesn't take long for Kate to discover that Lee has a penchant for dating the young tourists that flock to the river canyon each summer - and that Lee has no intention of ever settling down. Then an unexpected visit by Kate's girlfriend sends everyone scrambling. Torn between safety and desire, Kate has no idea which way to turn. And as for Lee -- she can't quite believe that she's actually fallen in love... for the very first time in her life.

Whiney but wonderfully brilliant Ceci Blum has packed up her physics books, fled her MIT lab with a stranger from a women`s bookstore, and is headed to her first Amazon Women`s Music Festival. As a `festi-virgin,` Ceci is by turns shocked, confused, and delighted by the curious world she encounters there. When the festival is sabotaged, however, she is stunned to find herself the object of suspicion. Determined to clear her reputation, Ceci challenges herself to apply the amazing intelligence that makes her a suspect to solve the mystery of who would bring trouble to The Festival.
 As Ceci discovers a troubling force at work, she also learns about woman-centered justice from the older woman who captures her heart along the way.

A Jewish lesbian daughter of holocaust survivors, Ceci approaches her world with a complex and appealing combination of caution, courage and passion in this story, which renders festival life in details that are funny, touching, and true.
