Friends and Lovers
Is there such a thing as just good friends...?
When a long-distance phone call summons private investigator Annie McHugh's lover and business partner, Gerry, across the Atlantic Annie's left in charge. She's been looking forward to being in the hot-seat for so long but it seems as if someone doesn't want her to succeed. And what's more, the infuriating but intriguing Sizemore has been brought in to help her investigate a dodgy insurance claim. He's got brains as well as brawn but Annie's determined to prove she's perfectly capable of managing on her own. Or is she?
With a case that's proving harder to crack than a high-security safe, dirty phone calls, errant colleagues and Sizemore clamped to her side Annie faces her greatest challenge yet ...
A Perfect Partnership
In a world that isn’t made to measure, has Annie found the perfect fit?
Annie McHugh should be happy. She's 5' 6', seriously pretty, and despite a ravenous appetite for cream cakes, is a perfect size 10. Well -12-ish.
She also runs a detective agency with her delectable partner Gerry. But Annie has a secret. She longs to handle an investigation, to escape from her desk and get down and dirty with the agency detectives.
OK, she already gets down and dirty with Gerry-but that's personal. Her dream is to become an investigator. All that's standing in her way are three macho detectives, and an increasingly surly bank manager who calls with irritating regularity, demanding that she get the agency account out of the red, or else...
Annie's New Life
Annie's discovered a case of mistaken identity... her own
After thirty years of being Annie McHugh, Annie discovers that she is, in fact, someone else. Her beloved and hugely respectable parents forged her birth certificate.
She hires Gerry, a private detective with a strong look of George Clooney, to track down her real mother. But how is it that when Annie goes to confront her mother in her large mansion in the smart end of Dublin, she ends up working for her instead?
Will Annie reveal the truth to her frosty new employer? Is this the beginning of Annie’s new life? And has Annie completely finished with Gerry’s services?
Annie has decisions to make…
