In A Pickle

It takes a heavenly wink and a couple of wannabe angels desperate to win their wings for Mary Louise "Pickles" Carson and Cam Hollinwell to realize they're soulmates. A Las Vegas teacher with a proclivity for all things vintage, Pickles' dream is to have a baby. Considering her sex life is a big fat zero, that seems impossible. Cam is a washed up journalist whose only goal in life is to return to mainstream reporting. What will it take for these two very different people to fall in love? How about a miracle?

Pickles is playing video poker when the angels bowl her over with the news she's pregnant courtesy of an obscure scientific miracle called parthenogenesis–conception without the benefit of a male found in plants and lower level species. Cam's journalistic career tanked as the result of a false date rape charge, and now he's reporting on Elvis sightings for a national tabloid. His task is to publicize the angel's miracle, and in return they'll help him resurrect his career.

Our hero and heroine soon find themselves in a world of murder, mayhem and all things Elvis. Add in a budding romance, the devil's hunky minion, and an inept villain–then set the story in a Vegas that tourists rarely see with a cast of eccentric characters, and you have all the elements of a rollicking good time.
