She accidentally rode into a carjacking…
…and into a whole lot of trouble
When children’s author Nell Whitby accidentally rides into an attempted carjacking, her quiet life takes a sharp turn into chaos.
Detective Alex Baker prefers order, silence, and cases that stay closed. Nell is none of those things. But when her life is threatened, protecting her becomes his priority—whether he likes the disruption or not.
As bullets fly and secrets unravel, Nell discovers she’s closer to a criminal past than she ever imagined. And Alex realizes that keeping her safe might cost more than he planned.
With danger closing in and chemistry building, they’ll have to trust each other to survive what’s coming next.
Relatively Risky is a fast-paced, humorous romantic suspense that launches the Big Uneasy series—where love, danger, and laughter collide.

Digging up the past can be dangerous…
More Bakers. More danger. More to uncover.
Dr. Hannah Baker is used to working with the dead. As a forensic surgeon in New Orleans, she knows how to uncover secrets buried beneath the surface.
But when an exhumation pulls her into a decades-old mystery, Hannah finds herself facing more than bones. Mob ties, long-buried vendettas, and a rising body count bring danger closer than ever—and this time, it’s personal.
Teaming up with Detective Logan Ferris—her brother’s partner and completely off-limits—only complicates things further.
As secrets unravel and tension builds, Hannah must navigate family loyalty, deadly threats, and a connection she can’t ignore.
Dead Spaces delivers more Bakers, more chaos, and more romance in a fast-paced, suspenseful return to the Big Uneasy.
