Work for a Million by Eve Zaremba

“Everyone is crazy about Sonia”, remarks Nate Ottoline, hard-nosed entrepreneur in Toronto's gay community, to his friend Helen Keremos.

Sonia Deerfield is a talented performer just hitting it big in the music biz, a recent million dollar lottery winner and a beautiful woman. Lucky Sonia. Or is she? For someone among her nearest and dearest is out to get her. Someone in her entourage is crazy like a fox. Someone conducts a harassment campaign of threatening phone calls, annoying vandalism, minor accidents...That someone has to be stopped.

Helen Keremos is persuaded to postpone her trip back to the west coast and takes the job. Susceptible as ever, she falls under the spell of the red-haired millionaire.

Soon simple harassment explodes into murder and Metro's finest enter the scene. Helen spars with Sergeant Malory, a cop who is as smart as he looks, as they set out to catch the bad guys.

Who in the tight little group surrounding Sonia Deerfield is after her money, her peace of mind and ultimately her life? Helen needs all her street smarts to untangle the chains of intrigue which bind Sonia and set her free.
