Detective Alex Brody did not anticipate breaking in a new
partner, much less a female partner and a Cavanaugh to
boot. Alex lost his partner in an accident on their last
case. Not that his partner was killed, just badly hurt,
and
his ex-partner's wife gave him an ultimatum . . . a desk
job with the PD or no wife. He chose the desk job.
Chief of Detectives Brian Cavanaugh assigns Valri
Cavanaugh
to be Alex's new partner, temporarily, to work on Alex's
latest case. The "King" of gaming and an excellent
computer
hacker, Hunter Rogers, was found murdered in his
apartment.
Valri possesses some mad computer skills, and the Chief
wants her to find information on Rogers' smashed laptop.
She also has some valuable experience as a gamer herself.
Alex is determined to get to the bottom of this case as
soon as possible and send Valri on her way back to being a
beat cop. She gets under his skin from the very beginning
with her incessant chatter, but when she actually pulls
valuable information off the smashed laptop, Brian begins
to change his mind about this petite, curvy blonde in a
blue uniform. Her information leads them to a second dead
gamer and the case really heats up. Alex's life goes from
simple to very complicated very fast. Can they find the
person behind these killings before someone else dies? Can
Alex keep telling his mind and heart that he does not want
a relationship with Valri?
This is my second visit with Marie Ferrarella's Cavanaugh
family. They are quite a fascinating group! You almost
need
a program to know who is kin to whom and who married into
the family, yet each of Ms. Ferrarella's stories can stand
on its own as a charming romance wrapped up in a great
suspense story. All the Cavanaugh's are strong-willed,
tenacious characters, and Valri is no exception. Her looks
are very deceiving. The plot moves along at a good speed
with a few surprises along the way. CAVANUGH FORTUNE is a
story about relationships and a sense of belonging.
Families can be a blessing or a curse. Alex has secrets
about his family he has never told anyone.
The Cavanaughs continue to thrill in this latest story of
crime, feuding partners and - surprise seduction from USA
TODAY bestselling author Marie Ferrarella
A ring of murderous hackers is casting a wide net of
destruction, bringing down financial institutions and
ruining lives. Detective Alex Brody must get to the bottom
of the case immediately, but he needs help. Normally he'd
rejoice at the idea of gaining a sexy new partner, but not
this one - not a Cavanaugh.
Officer Valri Cavanaugh is pulled from the ranks to assist
in a case that could make or break her career. She has the
tech smarts, but her new partner thinks she's a privileged
brat. As they delve deeper into the mystery, these
unwitting
partners find they have more in common than just a
case—sizzling chemistry that is both startling - and
potentially deadly.
