BLURB:
THE SWEETHEART RACKET
They used to be on
the sidelines. Now they’re out in the field…
Two years ago, Taryn
Hall was a pro football cheerleader—until she left her lecherous boss with a
bloody nose and a faceful of Mace. Now she’s part of a different kind of squad.
An elderly billionaire named Irving has hired and trained Taryn and her two
best friends to work as private investigators…
Taryn loves the job,
though it sometimes involves boring stakeouts, dog bites—and listening to
Irving talk about his golf shoes. Then tattooed, steely-eyed, straight-up
gorgeous undercover DEA agent Rick Silva walks into the office and shakes
things up…
Rick needs help
finding the con artist who’s taken his lonely mother for all she was worth.
With multiple aliases and multiple victims, it will be a challenge to track
down the coldhearted gigolo. And Rick insists on accompanying Taryn on the
hunt, working closely, day and night.
This could be
dangerous. And the case might be kind of risky, too…
ONE WEEK IN YOUR ARMS
IT STARTED WITH A
FLING…
Six years ago,
ambitious med student Marla Grant gave into temptation with a gorgeous man. Now
a busy doctor and a loving single mom, the only thing that matters to Marla
more than her adorable daughter is the Lafayette Falls Community Clinic. When
its funding is threatened, Marla is determined to find out why—until she learns
the person responsible is none other than the powerful, persuasive man of her
long-ago fling and the unsuspecting father of her child…
Carson Blackwell has
never forgotten bright, beautiful Marla. When he discovers that she runs the
clinic his grandmother’s foundation funds, it’s the perfect chance to put an
end to his ongoing infatuation—and use his leverage to cement a new business
deal. He needs a fake girlfriend for one week in Hawaii, and Marla is just the
woman for the job. It’s a win-win situation, until they realize the attraction
between them isn’t feigned, and the heat has never died down. Only the secrets
they’re both keeping stand in the way of a future together—and a love that
could last a lifetime.

Excerpt One:
The Sweetheart Racket
“I need a PI.”
She was just tired enough to make a sassy comment about his
good fortune of stumbling into a PI firm, but profit margins danced fresh in
her mind. Why chase off a perfectly good client with a smart comment?
“Come to my office.” The stranger followed her. She was con-
vinced he was checking out her butt. Or maybe it was just wishful thinking. She
hadn’t had a date in ages, and was beginning to feel a bit withered. Either
way, she needed to keep her mind on business and not how good he looked in his
jeans.
He settled into a chair before her desk and looked around
the space. He had a strong jaw, a semi-straight nose, and a small scar that
dissected his right brow.
“What can I do for you, Mr.—?” “Silva. Rick Silva.”
“Yes, ah, Mr. Silva. What brings you to Brash ?” Despite a
pro- fessional outward demeanor, it proved difficult to concentrate on anything
but his gorgeous gray eyes. They were a stark contrast to his dark brown hair
and tanned face.
The man was all alpha male. She’d be shocked if he’d ever
eaten a bean sprout on purpose or ordered a vanilla mocha latte with lite whip
and cinnamon sprinkles.
Add the tattoos peeking out from beneath his t-shirt sleeves
and she wondered if he’d done time.
“I’m searching for someone. His name is Teddy Brinkman.”
His voice had gone hard. There was danger in his expression.
A chill trilled through her. She leaned forward and knitted her fingers,
forcing herself not to show fear. “Are you going to kill him?”
Silva’s eyes widened at her bluntness. “And if I did?”
