PhDs, Pornography and Premeditated Murder : 9781601546388 : 24 Mar 2010 : Professor Jane Renard's estranged husband was murdered in front of a thousand Z.Z. Top fans at the Minnesota State Fair-while Jane sat in the crowd. Marcus Sloan, a security guard, is her alibi and is soon her ally when she's briefly suspected of murder. That's not her only problem. Jane has a 'secret' life as an erotic author and she's up for a job promotion at college. If they find out about her novels, she's sunk. Plus, her best friend is being threatened by a vengeful ex, Jane's getting disturbing fan mail to her alter ego, and a guy keeps calling and talking dirty on the phone. Jane's biggest problem, though, is her inexperience with men. Marcus might be the man to help her add some interesting firsthand facts to her novels. Maybe she can also discover if happily ever after only happens in books.
