March 30, 2002: Desperate, naked, and wet from her bubble bath soak private investigator Ripley Logan races through the motel balcony window of shoe businessman Joe Pruitt?s room. Before the bewildered Joe knows what happens he finds the gorgeous sleuth lying nude in his bed. Joe believes someone upstairs loves him as he feels he just got lucky until Ripley explains that three armed thugs are after her.

Unbelievable at least to Joe's associates and even to himself, he no longer worries about working twenty-four seven days a week as he has Ripley on his brain. His first priority is her safety as opposed to his shoe business operation. As they work on solving her missing person?s case, Joe and Ripley fall in love.

PRIVATE INVESTIGATIONS combines slapstick humor with boudoir heat, which on first impressions should prove a disastrous story line. However, terrifically talented Tori Carrington makes the combo work smoothly and seamlessly. Readers obtain a wonderful wacky tale with two delightful lead protagonists. Ripley is a charmer who has ripped asunder Joe?s stable world. He is elated with the chance to be her knight in shining armor though he wishes she would change her occupation so they are in less dangerous situations. Fans of jocularly torrid romances will relish Ms. Carrington?s fabulous contemporary.
