*Roll the Dice
by Mimi Barbour
When attractive Las Vegas detective, Aurora Morelli, makes a friend, she takes the relationship very seriously. And if someone hurts that person, they're going down. Slim and dainty, she has the heart of a lion, and when angry, the manners of a she-cat. Therefore the sicko who attacked her partner has become her prime target and nothing or no one will stand in her way. Except maybe her new partner who arrives in town full of vengeance for the same culprit.
Kai Lawson, a Bruce Willis look-alike, annoys her, and almost from the beginning, things go wrong. She questions whether they should be working together, especially after he shoots her, and not accidentally. Constant screw-ups on the job and the attraction building between them make reaching her goal seem almost insurmountable. Almost!
Partners - Book #1 Forced to take on a new partner, after a serial rapist attacks her former one, annoys Aurora big time. Especially when he's the kind of hotshot she normally stays away from. Since they both want this criminal; she ignores the irritating explosions he sets off when they're together.
Roll the Dice -- Book #2 Two detectives with differing agendas, yet after the same rapist, will keep you riveted. Kai, the bald-headed, blue-eyed, purse-carrying cowboy tries to wrestle control from his new partner, gorgeous yet grumpy Aurora. Right till the shocking end she fights him... and then things really deteriorate.
Vegas Shuffle -- Book #3 Pregnant, and furious at Kai Lawson, the missing fool who got her in this condition, Detective Aurora Morelli grudgingly accepts a new gal to be her partner. And... she's met charming, Jeff Waters. Can he replace her baby's daddy - is he man enough?
High Stakes Gamble -- Book #4 Being a new mom has made all the difference to Aurora getting over the pain of Kai's abandonment. Until some wacko steals her baby. Rather than shoot Kai when he shows up at her door - though to it was close - they work together to save their daughter.
Spin the Wheel -- Book #5 A wedding, a bank robbery and a night of hot sex all take place in this short bridge story between High Stakes Gamble and Let it Ride. Lisa Jordan has become responsible for her orphaned three-year-old nephew, and no man can come between her and that obligation. However, the casino tycoon, Jeff Waters, makes her question that decision.
Let it Ride -- Book #6 Lisa Jordan's life has drastically changed; her new female partner is a pit bull, her sister dies and leaves her as a guardian for her three-year-old nephew. And... she sleeps with a millionaire casino owner who's kidnapped. How can she refuse to take his case? Her heart wouldn't let her refuse.

Mimi Barbour's Bio
NYT & USA Today, best-selling, award-winning author, Mimi Barbour, lives on the beautiful east coast of Vancouver Island and writes her romances with tongue-in-cheek and a mad glint in her eye. Asked why she prefers paranormal or suspenseful romance, she answers, chuckling... "Because it's fun! Imagination can be a lot more interesting than what happens in real life to so-called normal people. I love my characters, and my goal is to make the readers love them also. To care about what happens to them while the tale unfolds. If I can steal my booklover's attention away from their everyday grind, absorb them in a fantasy world, and make them care about the ending, then I've done my job. "Thinking back, writing my first romantic suspense novel switched the hard work into fun, and I've not looked back. I love writing about men and women finding each other and falling in love. Along the way, it pleases me to fill their travels with gritty conflicts -- spiced up with lots of humor and seasoned with a few tears, but always with endings that are happy."
