Psychologist Christina McMullen answers her doorbell
expecting to yell at her very late boyfriend, the sexy
Lieutenant Rivera. Instead, there's a drop-dead gorgeous
stranger at her door, who proceeds to do just that, drop
dead when he's shot. As the bullets whiz by just inches
from Christina's head, she cannot believe this is happening
again. Is there a giant target on her? There have been
several attempts on her life lately, but as far as she
knows, the culprits are either dead or incarcerated.
Shocked at her luck and frightened by the attempt, Rivera
digs relentlessly to find information. He unearths a rap
sheet that infers the dead man was a hit man. He begs
Christina to leave L.A., but she refuses. When her brother,
Pete, arrives for an unexpected visit from Chicago, she
should feel relieved, except trouble always trails Pete and
this is no exception. The soon-to-be-married Pete has a
loan shark after him, plus a few other disgruntled people.
He pleads with Christina to act as his intermediary and
help him with his difficulties.
Put-out with her dumbass brother, Christina reluctantly
agrees to help him, since he is family. She tells half-
truths to Rivera, knowing he would not approve. Once again,
Christina's love life suffers major interruptions as she
attempts to fix her brother's problems and figure out who
is trying to kill her.
Welcome to the wacky and wonderful world of Christina
McMullen and Lieutenant Rivera. Ms. Greiman perfectly
balances screwball comedy, mystery and romance. The
dialogue sparkles with wit and humor, the mystery is
convincing and the sexual tension between the two is hot!
Ms. Greiman has found her forte in this excellent mystery
series.
Even in a city of long, tall beauties, psychologist Christina McMullen is used to getting hit on. But she's definitely not accustomed to having a hit on her. Until the day a charming stranger shows up at her door – and someone guns him down right in front of her.
For Chrissy, shootings and explosions are what pass for normal in her tempestuous relationship with sexy LAPD lieutenant Jack Rivera. But the real mayhem begins when her brother Pete blows in from the Windy City trailing clouds of trouble in the form of a pregnant girlfriend, “borrowed” money, and a mobster named “D.” Chrissy always said her family would be the death of her – but even L.A.’s sassiest shrink isn’t prepared for the truth behind her brother’s link to the dead stranger... or the killer who threatens them both.
