He's one of America's brightest stars. So maybe it goes without saying that IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway is star-struck? In Diane Kelly's Death, Taxes, and Silver Spurs, she's head over heels . . . in trouble.

Easy's getting harder every day for Tara. A tax-evading pet groomer managed to buzz off a big chunk of her hair . . . just in time for her date strictly-business meeting with country-music heartthrob Brazos Rivers. Of course Tara shouldn't care—she's devoted to Special Agent Nick Pratt, after all—but Rivers does know how to steal a woman's heart with a song . . .

Meanwhile, Tara's up to her fracking neck with another case: A natural-gas company with a money trail that is almost as suspicious as Brazos Rivers's tax return. Which is to say, he can't seem to cough up one. Tara figures the misdeeds of her celebrity crush must be an oversight. But will she dance to a different tune . . . when her tax-evading idol starts evading her, too?
