Two Seconds Too Late
Book 2 of the Jeopardy Falls series
Skip tracer Riley and private investigator Greyson go undercover as a couple at an exclusive New Mexico retreat while searching for a missing woman. Their cover puts them inside a polished environment where hit men and hidden agendas make it increasingly difficult to know who is guest, victim, or threat. Forced proximity brings unresolved attraction and personal secrets to the surface just as the investigation turns lethal. This romantic suspense combines an undercover-couple setup, desert danger, rapid action, and two investigators who must trust each other faster than they would prefer.
