Titles By Laura Griffin
When pampered former cheerleader Feenie Malone takes a job writing fluff pieces for her South Texas paper, she has no idea she's about to stumble into a juicy news story that could launch her career -- if it doesn't get her killed first. Almost as soon as she breaks out her press pass, she crosses paths with Marco Juarez, the macho PI obsessed with solving his sister's murder. The information he has might be the perfect lead -- but his dangerously sexy looks could be a deadly distraction.
Juarez has zero patience for reporters, especially mouthy blond ones. But with the evidence pointing to Feenie's ex-husband, Marco thinks she could be useful. Confident he can keep her on a tight leash, he lets her in on his investigation. He quickly discovers he's underestimated his new partner, as well as the danger they both face. Now he must protect her -- to the very last breath....
But that's just what happens when Celie Wells has an encounter with her former husband, and he turns up dead an hour later. Now, after working hard to distance herself from his crooked ways and shady connections, she finds she's smack dab in the middle of his murder investigation. And it isn't just the police who have their eye on her, but an enraged drug lord who is seeking payback.
The only person who seems to be on her side is old acquaintance John McAllister. But the sexy reporter has a nose for news, as well as a reputation as a playboy. Is he helping Celie out because he wants a story...or a one-night stand? She knows John's interest is potentially hazardous to her heart. But not accepting his help could put her life at even greater risk -- and she can't afford one wrong step.
Navy SEAL Jake Heath has his eyes on Alexa Mays. The FBI Agent is whip smart and hot as hell, but she won’t give him the time of day. So, when she calls him out of blue, he thinks his luck has changed.
But instead of meeting up for a romantic dinner, Alexa needs Jake for a very different reason. Her counterterrorism team is hot on the heels of the extremist that Jake’s task force has been tracking for months, and now he’s on American soil. The only way she can take him down is with Jake’s help.
Alexa knows Jake is tough and relentless...and that the chemistry between them is electric. Although she’s risking her heart—and maybe even her career—by bringing him onto the mission, she doesn’t have another choice. Together, they’re an unstoppable and powerful team.
As the hours tick by and a lethal enemy gets closer to launching an unimaginable attack, Alexa and Jake need to fight fire with fire before the clock runs out. The only question is: will their own flames get in the way?
Scarlet Moreno and Krista Hart’s PI 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.
Trial by Fire …
Three years ago LAPD 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 PI 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.

HIT AND RUN
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 LAPD 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.

Adam Brock is the hot, up-and-coming actor of a hit movie ... and the ex-husband of Krista Hart, partner in Moreno & Hart Investigations. He cheated on her weeks after their wedding and Krista swore she’d never see him again ... but when he wants to hire her to find out who’s stalking him, she takes the case ... against her better judgment.
Krista and her partner Scarlet Moreno drive up to an exclusive Bear Mountain resort only to learn that there’s no room reserved for them—and they’re forced to stay in Adam’s suite. The entourage that follows Adam thinks he’s overreacting, and all Adam wants to do is play; he’s not acting like the scared over-grown kid Krista had spoken to on the phone. She wants to leave ... until someone breaks into Adam’s suite.
Scarlet has her own troubles, including her obsession with the ambush that nearly killed her and Krista three years ago—and a boyfriend who has suddenly become distant and moody. But the one thing she never has a problem with is getting the truth out of dirtbags, and while Krista digs around into Adam’s life and background to find out if there is a genuine threat, Scarlet interrogates everyone who might have information—when she’s not protecting Adam from his own stupidity.
Is Adam’s alleged stalker just a publicity stunt to gain him press before his big movie premiere? Or is someone really out to get him? Who’s lying ... and who’s telling the truth? It’s up to Scarlet and Krista to not only find answers, but stop a violent plot with far-reaching consequences.
