If something seems too good to be real, you've got to get out of there. That's the rule that Page Found has always followed. She's a petty thief with no memory of her past, scrounging to survive on a backwater outpost—until she's kidnapped by one of her marks. Her kidnappers—the cruel, self-serving Zhak and the tough maverick Maelle—plan to pass Page off as a monk from an ancient, isolated planet to help them capture a treasure-filled ship.

Almost three weeks ago on a cold dark pier in Boston, PI Miranda Steele saw her beloved husband shot down before her eyes. Now she and her team are on a quest to find his body and bring it back to Atlanta. But the criminal mastermind who gunned down Parker has a plan that’s more devious and evil than anything Miranda could ever have imagined.

Okay. Their last case was an unintended surprise, but now it’s time for Miranda and Parker to relax and get back to retirement. Except Curt Holloway, Miranda’s old buddy and teammate, has other plans. When he decided to leave the Investigative Agency, Parker put Holloway in his place as acting CEO. Now Holloway wants out.

Just a few weeks ago, PI Miranda Steele thought the love of her life was dead. Parker believed the same about her. Miraculously, they made it through the worst ordeal of their lives, and have retired to the peace and quiet of the North Georgia Mountains. But it’s a little too peaceful here, and Miranda is getting restless. As a diversion they decide to attend a high school reunion party in Chicago. Nothing dangerous about that, right?

Not long ago Special FBI Agent Simon Sloan found his boss dead in his Washington DC office. He left a letter warning Sloan with one word—Run! And so Sloan did. But he took someone with him. Now he regrets that decision. PI Janelle Wesson can’t believe she left her job at the Parker Agency for this. She thought she was in love with the secretive FBI Agent. Now she’s racing across South America with him with an unknown enemy at their heels—ready to destroy them as soon as they’re in his sights.

PI Miranda Steele knows something has been eating away at her teenage daughter for months now. Does Mackenzie know her real father was a psychotic serial killer? Miranda’s afraid to ask and this time, Parker has no answers. But when her precious daughter goes missing, Miranda spirals into a tailspin. Now she’s forced to ask the most painful question of all.

Five thousand miles away from Atlanta. A young man is killed. A young man with secrets. When Parker’s father asks him to travel to Ukraine to find someone who’s been missing over a decade, Parker flatly refuses. But Miranda can’t say no to Mr. P. And so they board the plane.

On a sunny winter afternoon in West Hollywood, California, a seven-year-old girl gets into a car with a stranger. Two hours later a single mother receives a call telling her not to go to the police. On the other side of the country, Miranda and Parker are sparring in the gym—until a colleague tells them her sister’s daughter is missing and begs them to help. A kidnapping? A missing little girl? Of course they have to help. With thoughts of the desperate search for her own daughter, Miranda boards the next plane to LA, along with Parker and the team.

Despite fallout from her last few cases, Miranda travels to the Outer Banks to help solve the gruesome murder of a young woman. But when she sees the state of the body, she knows she’s walking into a living nightmare. Can she hold back the monsters from her past this case is reviving? Or will they destroy her? Especially when the killer has her in his crosshairs.

There’s nothing more terrifying than losing your child. An eerie robotic message on Parker’s cell. Unknown caller. Miranda and Parker follow the lead. Was that a mistake? Answering that call throws her and Parker into the investigation of a grisly murder—an incident that leads to a web of secrets and lies bigger than either of them could have imagined.

Three weeks ago Miranda and Parker had a gut wrenching fight. Miranda struck out on her own, ready to prove she’s an investigator in her own right. Problem is...she has no clients. So when a scary dude from her past walks through the door and wants to hire her to find a missing exotic dancer, she's forced to take the case. Meanwhile Parker is done with Miranda and the pain she put him through. But if he can find whoever sent those threatening texts on her cell phone, he can prove he was right about her disregard of danger.

Parker wants to take on a cold case back in Chicago. A house fire that might have been arson. Miranda is less than thrilled, but her sexy ace investigator husband won’t take no for an answer. So the detective duo heads off to the town where Miranda was born. There they learn the victim in the case was a young female art student who was burnt to death in her own bed years ago. Disturbing photos of the body spark a desire in Miranda to find who killed her and bring him to justice. Suddenly Parker becomes aloof. He’s up to something. She just can’t figure out what.

PI Miranda Steele’s best friend is having the time of her life in Paris, France. After winning first prize in a cooking contest, she’s learning to bake dark chocolate delicacies from the best chef in the city. But when the love of her life goes missing, her dream trip turns into a nightmare. She turns to the only people she can trust. As fast as they can, Miranda and Parker hop a plane to France. But the hunt to find their friend and colleague turns out to be hopeless. Soon they find themselves embroiled in a deadly conspiracy that could mean the end of all of them.

A baffling case that has troubled Wade Parker for over ten years. The key player—one of the deadliest snakes in the world. Can it be solved? When Parker asks Miranda to take on the case of an old friend accused of murder, driven by love and her relentless desire for justice, she agrees.

Thirteen years ago, Miranda Steele’s abusive husband stole her baby and gave it up for adoption. Then he kicked Miranda out of his house. So she remade herself. Thirteen years later, the feisty, stubborn skeptic came to Atlanta hoping to find her daughter. Instead she met Wade Parker, a hot shot, sophisticated PI and the most eligible forty-four-year-old bachelor in town. She joined his investigative agency, solved several murder cases, and faced her past.

Who would murder a circus clown? And why? When private investigator Miranda Steele gets a call from an old "friend" in Dallas, Texas and decides to take his case, her boss and husband Wade Parker is none too pleased. Especially when she insists he stay home due to his recent injuries. No way, Jose. But when Southeastern sophisticated meets Southwestern country, tempers blaze hotter than Texas chili sauce, stressing Miranda's relationship with Parker to the max.

High in the mountains of southeastern Brazil a killer lurks. An old friend calls. She’s getting death threats. Once again PI Miranda Steele feels the call of her destiny. When she and Parker get to Brazil and discover grisly human remains near a mountain resort, she knows those threats are very real. A lot of people would like to get their hands on their client's valuable property. But which one is the killer?

After she left her abusive husband thirteen years ago, Miranda Steele became a fighter. Over the years, she picked up martial arts and street fighting tactics, and now that she works for the Parker Investigative Agency, she can handle a weapon. But the battle with her inner demons? Not so easy. Ace investigator Wade Parker feels more love for the feisty, impossible woman than ever. With her irascible determination, he knows they are kindred spirits. And he hopes he can find her stolen daughter.
