Probation Case Files Mysteries, Book 3

Phoenix probation officer Casey Carson could use a change of scenery to clear her head and make some major life decisions. When the opportunity arises to take on a side job wrangling juvenile delinquents on a wilderness adventure for a diversion program, she’s skeptical. But she wants to support her cousin, who they hired as a counselor. The extra cash in her pocket sweetens the deal.

Unfortunately, one of Casey’s clients—an escaped murderer after one of her charges—threatens to upend her plans. Facing wildfire, flash floods and an angry mountain lion are nothing compared to the murderous intentions in store for one of the kids.

On a crash course with the killer and with her faithful pup Felony by her side, Casey desperately tries to lead the group to safety. She doesn’t realize that her two love interests, ex-husband Betz, and hunky ex-neighbor, Marcus, are frantically looking for the group. Casey must utilize every negotiating skill she possesses to not fail, or she’ll lose all she holds dear.

Charlie Calderbank she’d found her calling when she entered the police academy. A sudden onset of rheumatoid arthritis forces her to rethink her future. When her Aunt Jo-Jo suffers injuries in a car accident, Charlie offers to help at her aunt’s pet hotel, Wiggle Butt Manor, in the charming Pacific Northwest island town of Orca Cove. 

With Noah, her Cocker Spaniel, by her side, she settles into life on the island. When the owner of the precocious mutt, Maya, is found murdered, Jo-Jo becomes a suspect. Charlie tries to protect her aunt and find the real killer. She becomes immersed in the community’s secrets and becomes attracted to the hot local cop trying to solve the case. The killer will do anything to hide the truth, including making Charlie the next victim.

There are two ways to get off probation early. The first is to be a model citizen and complete all requirements imposed by the court. The second is to die.  In Early Termination, Phoenix probation officer Casey Carson’s clients aren’t civic-minded, but they are dropping like flies.

She’s on a gang’s hit list, a detective’s suspect list, and is torn while two very hot men vie for her heart. As more clients die and a probationer accuses her of brutality, she becomes the focus of the investigation. Casey risks losing everything in her race to find the real killer, but doing so will put the target squarely on her back. She will need to find the person responsible for lightening her workload before she’s the one terminated.

When Phoenix probation officer Casey Carson goes to work, she expects naked people to answer doors, meth-addicted clients to hit on her, and pissed-off judges to chew her out in court. After a routine home visit with a Diablo gang member goes horribly wrong, she knows she must watch her back. Even she must admit that a one-eyed, bad-ass, angry gangster, and his crew gunning for her is a bit more than she was trained to handle. 

Casey has even more reason to fear Diablo when her cousin Hope goes missing and it looks like their handiwork. With women vanishing at an alarming rate in the area, police treat Hope’s disappearance as a priority. Still, Casey can’t sit on the sidelines, even with her ex-husband leading the investigation. After she receives information that proves her suspicions about Diablo right, the gang will do anything to keep her from sharing it with police, even if that means taking her on a one-way trip to the desert.
