Smart Women, Dumb Luck Series

Dead Hunt is the second romantic thriller in the Smart Women, Dumb Luck series.

A mentoring program at Blue Ridge University—dumb luck—brings three smart women together. Riley Reid, an FBI agent, mentors coeds Nexi Ketts and Kate Johnson at her alma mater. A decade later, the trio remains fast friends—friends who count on each other whenever dumb luck turns bad.

Each romantic thriller focuses on one of these heroines as she battles to outsmart enemies and tiptoes through minefields of killer lies to see if love is a remote possibility.

Dead Line. Nexi Ketts’ choice of profession—forensic accountant—is partly penance for her thieving parents, who absconded with a stolen fortune and left their teenage daughter alone with a corpse. Now a routine investigation promises to bring Nexi face-to-face with Mommy. Nexi’s chance to find answers to a recurring nightmare may cost her newfound love and her life. 

Dead Hunt. Three men want Riley Reid. One wants her dead. When a homegrown terrorist group threatens to turn prestigious Blue Ridge University into a funeral pyre, Riley, BRU's Director of Security, is thrown into a shadow world where old hatreds run deep, family feuds poison relationships, and death and danger spill off the college campus into mountain wilderness.

Dead Cure. Kate Johnson, a post-doctoral student, is thrilled when a brilliant doctor invites her to join his research team. Her new mentor is on the hunt for a cure to the disease that killed Kate’s father. The thrill turns to horror when Kate begins to suspect her boss may be infecting people and justifying innocent deaths as the sacrifice necessary to save more lives.
