Short Change

Management consultant Tucker Sinclair is trying to get her own firm off the ground in Los Angeles. But when you get mixed up in a private investigator's business, trouble is always a prospect....

Tucker Sinclair has finally escaped the oppressively corporate Aames & Associates and now runs her own business consulting firm. But with freedom comes unpredictability. What was supposed to be a short stint helping private investigator Charley Tate get his practice established turns into a full-time job as Charley pushes her to save not only his business, but possibly his life.

It starts when Eve Lawson stumbles into the Tate Investigations office, hoping to find out who's following her. Who'd want to follow a bland writer working on a book about real estate? With Eve's eighties wardrobe, Tucker can only imagine it's the fashion police. But work means needed income for Tucker and Charley, who strike gold when murder enters the equation. Tucker's on the hunt, and not even LA traffic can stop her.
