From New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin comes a tightly wound, fast-paced romantic thriller that follows a desperate woman on the run as she hides from a killer's symbolic revenge spree. Perfect for fans of Karen Rose, Alexandra Ivy and Kendra Elliot.
Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops, criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp wit and pointed words, she's a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, but in her personal life, she's a mess.
When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces and starts a killing spree to wipe out those who put him behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for her life.
Turning to a private security firm for protection, Brynn can't resist getting involved in the investigation. As the clock ticks down on a manhunt, Brynn's desperate search for the truth unearths long-buried secrets and reignites a killer's cold fury.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Action and romance needn’t be mutually exclusive, as Laura Griffin proves in the opening book of her Wolfe Security series. The seasoned author spikes those genres with urgent courtroom drama as self-possessed defense attorney Brynn Holloran finds herself under the watch of a private security firm after an escaped murderer begins targeting those who put him behind bars. Told in streamlined, conversational prose, Desperate Girls brings a grounding human touch to its suspenseful twists as Brynn and other key characters must face challenges from both within and without. If anything, their warring physical and emotional urges only complicate the white-knuckle fight for survival.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Griffin (Touch of Red) weaves just enough romance into this intensely suspenseful novel of murder and passion. Defense attorney Brynn, about to begin a trial to save her client's life, hears that her former colleague has been murdered. The main suspect is a man she helped put in jail, who's now free and looking for revenge. Brynn's boss promptly hires private security to protect Brynn and her cocounsel. At first Brynn is furious about her activities being dictated, but the more she gets to know her guard, Erik, the less she minds. Erik, former military and Secret Service, does everything by the book: no distractions, not even caffeine on the job. But the more time he spends with Brynn, the harder it is to follow the rules. As they embark on the dual thrill rides of the trial and the search for the killer, fire builds between Brynn and Erik. Griffin pulls out all the stops in a phenomenal twist ending that will leave readers stunned.
