Ian Coulter's Amethyst Cove by KC Kendricks (series romance, crime, mystery)






The story begins...Double Deuce

Free-spirited Ian Coulter works hard and plays harder. An ex-cop turned private investigator, Ian enjoys meeting new men and making new friends. A night out ends up with one man on the floor at his feet, and another asking for his help. Big trouble is brewing in little Amethyst Cove, and Ian is a step behind. He's quick to see Rick Mohr is the man holding the flare at the end of a long, dark tunnel.

Undercover agent Rick Mohr walks a fine line, serving two masters. Insider trading, counterfeit printing plates, and a blown-up yacht have Rick stuck between two Federal agencies, one of which has been compromised. Rick has to discover the mole before it's too late. When Ian Coulter walks into his life, Rick grabs the chance to salvage his assignment with both hands.

It doesn't take Ian and Rick long to discover joining forces, and sharing resources, has definite perks, ones not found in any departmental manual.
