ALEX LOVELL MAKES PEOPLE DISAPPEAR.
TURNS OUT, SHE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Private investigator Alexandra Lovell uses computer skills and cunning to help clients drop off the radar and begin new lives in safety. Melanie Bess, desperate to escape her abusive cop husband, was one of those clients. But when Melanie vanishes for real, Alex fears the worst, and sets out to discover what happened. Using every resource she can get her hands on -- including an elite team of forensic scientists known as the Tracers, and a jaded, sexy Austin PD detective -- Alex embarks on a mission to uncover the truth.
As far as homicide cop Nathan Deveraux is concerned, no body means no case. But as much as he wants to believe that Alex's hunch about Melanie's murder is wrong, his instincts -- and their visceral attraction -- won't let him walk away. As a grim picture of what really happened begins to emerge, Nathan realizes this investigation runs deeper than they could ever have guessed. And each step nearer the truth puts Alex in danger of being the next to disappear....

This book was worth the $0.99 I paid for it, but there's no way I'd ever pay full price for it. I can't say I'll continue with this series OR read another book by this author, though. I didn't care for the characters, even though I thought the storyline was okay. I found the heroine VERY annoying. She gets angry when her love interest doesn't just take what she says at face value (“you don't believe me” blah blah), and it feels like one minute the author is trying to write her as a strong female lead, then the next as a weakling. Is she anti-relationship or does she want a relationship? Why is she so weak and naive when it comes to the woman she is so hellbent on helping? Felt like the author adjusted the character for that particular point of the story. I also found it annoying that there was practically NO character development for the villain of the story. I could have done without the sex scenes and romantic subplot, but I guess as this is a “romantic suspense” book, I shouldn't complain about that.
