Wife for Hire

In Wife for Hire, romance and danger collide when a contract marriage becomes more than just a deal. This clean romantic suspense novel follows a courageous heroine hired for protection, a reluctant hero with secrets, and a plot full of tension, unexpected attraction, and betrayal waiting in the wings. With high stakes, emotional conflict, and slowly kindled love, this story blends suspense, passion, and clean romance in perfect proportion. Perfect for readers who crave mystery, contract romance, danger, and love that grows in the most unlikely situations.

Insanity is never far behind.
Or is it?

So far, the private investigation business of Wife for Hire has done nothing more than check on cheating spouses and insurance fraud. But, when handsome author, Eric Larson hires Sarah Matthews to pose as his fiancé in order to get rid of a stalker, things escalate to a whole new level.

Wanting her business to be taken seriously becomes almost more than Sarah bargained for as a clever plan to catch a crazed woman takes a turn for the worse.

Can Sarah and Eric stay far enough ahead of a demented stalker long enough to confess their love for each other or will it be too late for either of them? AMAZON

Can these two get over past pains and learn the lesson of love while the threat of death hangs over their heads?  AMAZON

As bits and pieces of his memory returns, John realizes things are far more dangerous than he could have imagined. The two are thrust into a circle of crime and trafficking. No one in their circle of friends is safe. John and Meghan must infiltrate the dangers of inner-city crime at the risk of their lives.

Will they come away unscathed? AMAZON

Only, Seth isn’t sure Lainie can hold it together when she comes face-to-face with the man who terrorized her in the past. Neither wants romance. Both want to focus on their careers.

Rookie police officer Mark Fields rescues a pretty woman from being hit by a bus. When she says she didn’t fall, but was pushed, he doesn’t believe her until he finds out she’s also been receiving threatening notes. Assigned as Amy’s protection until the culprit is caught, fresh from Montana, Mark wants only to do a good job and escape the guilt of his past.
