Pary Barry & John Books 2-4

Book 2: Parody Hope Barry, PI and owner of an unusual pet escort sevice, inadvertantly takes on a case that involves her handsome new neighbor, John Smith.

When John's ex-wife, Victoria, comes to Pary looking for her missing fiancee, Pary discovers too late that she's John's ex. Besides, Victoria's rich, and she drops a retainer check that has Parry eyeing and buying irresistible new red boots.

So Victoria's father has a reputation as a mobster. That doesn't mean Pary's life is in danger, does it? When she uncovers disturbing information about Victoria's fiancee, she asks John for help. Then she sees John and his ex-father-in-law together, and they aren't discussing the weather! Pary decides to go on the run and hide out until she can figure out who she can trust.

Along the way, she serves a subpoena and gets a surprising job offer. Meanwhile, John Smith is hiding a few secrets of his own.

Book 3: Parody Barry lives life on the crazy side. Recently, she has been waiting... and waiting for the call from John's company to start her new job. When the call doesn't come, she finally confronts John who gets the ball rolling.

He doesn't count on that ball rolling right over him and dragging him into another mess (or two), which Pary ALWAYS finds herself in. Unfortunately, for John, the boss wants to keep Pary under surveillance. He's not sure if he can trust her seemingly innocent intrusion into their past business.

So it's up to John to keep an eye on her. Or at least try. Pary has more disappearing acts than a magician, and John has all he can do to keep up.

Book 4: Like it or not, Pary and John are a team. The big boss, Frank, decides Pary needs a partner while he figures out if she's really a spy sent by a rival governmental agency. And John's the (reluctant) man for the job.

A seemingly straightforward case leads to tension and Pary's demand for a new partner. It's up to John to make things right and get back on track with Pary. Besides, he needs her case notes. Plus, Frank leaves him no choice- make up with Pary or Frank will put her in charge!

With exploding cars, a round of drinking, new revelations, and a visit to an old friend, Pary and John get to know each other better, both professionally and personally. Smart mouths, wise-cracks, and suspicious minds- they are both in for more than a dull partnership. Add Pary's offbeat sense of... everything. As John wonders how he'll survive, he doesn't even realize he's not just surviving... he's adapting!
