Scarlet Moreno and Krista Hart’s P.I. business is teetering on the brink of failure when they land their next big case... and this time it’s personal. After digging for years into the mysterious shooting that cost Scarlet her badge and nearly her life, Scarlet has finally unearthed some answers. She thinks she knows who is behind the plot to murder her three years ago, but to prove her case she needs the help of a previously overlooked witness who seems to have vanished.

 

Krista is on the job. It’s the most challenging skip trace of her career, so she brings in the big guns—rival private investigator R.J. Flynn. While Krista and R.J. set out to track down the missing witness, Scarlet sets out on a dangerous quest for answers—starting with her former partner, who retired to Arizona. She trusts only Krista because everyone else is keeping secrets, including her boyfriend, Detective Alex Bishop. As Scarlet begins to unravel a shocking conspiracy, Krista hones in on the lone witness and someone close to both of them is watching their every move. With the clock ticking down and the body count rising, Scarlet and Krista realize this may be their last case, because a vicious killer with everything to lose wants them both dead.

 

 

 

HIT AND RUN

(Moreno & Hart Mysteries Book 2)

 

Danger comes from all sides as private investigators Scarlet Moreno and Krista Hart tackle two new cases.

 

HIT...

Scarlet Moreno gets a panicked call from long-time friend Jason Jones, an L.A.P.D. street cop wanted for killing his girlfriend. Paranoid with no one to trust, he reaches out to Scarlet for help. Before they can figure out who set him up, a SWAT team descends, Jason runs, and Scarlet is left with questions she can't answer when the police show up. She’s determined to prove Jason innocent, but the cops want him behind bars and someone else wants him dead. As Scarlet digs deeper into the murky case, she realizes that whoever is framing Jason wants her dead, too—and it might connect to the ambush that nearly killed her and Krista three years ago.

 

and RUN...

Krista Hart doesn’t want to team up with rival private detective R.J. Flynn. And she definitely doesn’t want to help an unscrupulous trial lawyer get away with murder. But when R.J. pulls her into his latest high-profile case, Krista realizes that nothing about the murder of a beautiful Laguna Beach housewife is quite what it seems. Krista sets out to uncover the truth—no matter whose side it helps—and manages to provoke all the wrong people, including a vicious murderer who won’t hesitate to kill again and then make a run.

 

 

 

CRASH AND BURN

(Moreno & Hart Mysteries Book 1)

 

Three years ago, L.A.P.D. Detective Scarlet Moreno and rookie cop Krista Hart were nearly killed during a botched sting operation. Now, they’re best friends and partners in the Orange County private investigation firm of Moreno & Hart. But their routine assignments are anything but safe.

 

CRASH …

Scarlet Moreno has her hands full with a cheating spouse case when the bartender at her favorite pub becomes a murder suspect. Worse, the detective in charge of the investigation threatens to arrest Scarlet for obstruction—even when she tries to give him valuable information. Scarlet risks her P.I. license and her life to find out the truth, absolve her friend, and track down a killer—with or without the help of the arrogant, mysterious Detective Alex Bishop.

 

and BURN …

Krista Hart is burned out on catching deadbeat dads and philandering husbands when a big-time criminal defense attorney hires her for a choice assignment: find the sole witness to murder the day before the trial. The case could be a boon for Moreno & Hart, but the witness is in hiding, someone is following Krista, and her own client is withholding information. The last person she wants help from is sexy investigator R.J. Flynn, but he claims he’s willing to share intel—for a price. If she can solve this case, it’ll elevate Moreno & Hart above being divorce voyeurs, but first she has to survive with her life and heart intact.
