Fat Chance is the first in a series following Sean McDermott, a New York PI on the run from the mob for a murder he didn't commit. Sean is a bit of a case. He drinks too much, smokes too much and has several unresolved phobias. Nothing his shrink can't fix, given more time and money.
After his car breaks down in the little backwater town of Mystic Falls, New Mexico, Sean is persuaded into helping the sheriff locate a missing person. Persuaded as in, he's not getting his keys back until she's found. Oh and did we mention that the wiseguys back in New York now know where he is?
But hey, he's a wisecracking, think-on-his-feet kind of guy. Locating the woman known as Fat Chance and getting out before the goons show up should be a piece of cake for him, right? Fat Chance.

Burning Desire (Lost&Found Series) ✔
This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.

The contract has been drafted, and he wants her in. Jobless and desperate, Angel Mohr is put in the spotlight once more. Will she sign along the line?
