Janet Maple and Dennis Walker make a good team: she
is a top-notch white collar crime investigator, and so is he. Both Janet and
Dennis are thrown in for a loop when Janet’s treacherous snake of an
ex-boyfriend, Alex Kingsley, is appointed as their new boss, and the case that
was supposed to be the highlight of their careers is dismissed for lack of
evidence.
To make matters worse, Alex is asking Janet to get
back together, and the one man she wishes would ask her out sees her as nothing
more than a coworker. Janet’s love life soon becomes the least of her worries,
as she begins to suspect that Alex’s rekindled interest in her is driven by
ulterior motives. She is determined to get to the bottom of things, but she
can’t do it alone.
Together, Janet and Dennis team up to solve a
tangled white collar crime web that leads to powerful politicians and corporate
executives. Armed with their keen instincts and skills, Janet and Dennis are
bound to succeed. There is just one glitch: both are attracted to each other,
and both refuse to admit it. Will Janet and Dennis solve the biggest case of
their careers or will their attraction to each other get in the way?
*Catching the Bad Guy is book two of the Janet Maple
Series, but it can easily be read on its own.*
