| Playing with Matches, by N.C. Hyzy |
As a female PI in Chicago, Riley Drake doesn't get the respect she deserves. Why should she? Right now her only client is PS Consultants, a high-class matchmaking enterprise, for whom she runs discreet background checks.
But then Riley is hired by billionaire John Stratton who is desperate to resume dating and make his own love connection. The handsome widower would be quite the catch—if it weren't for the fact that he probably murdered his wife.
Stratton’s woes are only part of Riley’s problems. Other clients—a TV celebrity with sexual-perception issues, a Trump-like entrepreneur with an embarrassing secret, and a worshipful drug-addict trying to go straight—keep her running through the streets of Chicago, ready to take down anyone who gets in her way.
Riley is determined to discover the truth about all of them, even though she knows playing with matches means you sometimes get burnt. (from Goodreads)
Teaser:
Uncharacteristically flushed, she'd either just had a fabulous quickie with her husband in a back room, or she'd won the lottery. Since I knew Gus wasn't around today, I put bets on a monetary windfall.
