Dear Reader,

Thank you for being here! As you may know, I write Romantic Thrillers with guaranteed Happily Ever Afters. As an avid reader myself, I’m sometimes a little daunted when I spy a super-long series (looking at you, J.D. Robb). And, as there are now so many titles in the Cold Justice® world, I figured I’d put this page together to help readers figure out where to start.

NOTE: Every novel is a standalone with its own hero and heroine and a complete plot. Characters crossover between stories.

Series & Overlap

My Cold Justice® books are centered around fictional members of the FBI’s Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG).   

Cold Justice® series mainly features agents from the Behavioral Analysis Unit 4 (think “profilers” and Mindhunter).

Cold Justice® – The Negotiators features agents from the Crisis Negotiation Unit.

Cold Justice® – Most Wanted features agents from the Hostage Rescue Team.

HER – Romantic Suspense is a different series entirely, but secondary characters in these books later appear in the Cold Justice® world.
