Books in the The Talmadge Sisters series

Michelle Talmadge is desperate to find someone to help her locate her missing father who disappeared over twenty years ago and might not wish to be found. Her quest looks like it's going to end before it begins because so far she hasn't found a single private investigator who will take the case. Josh O'Malley is the last agency in town to try. Josh O'Malley's about at his rope's end. His irregular hours don't mesh with day care and with the death of his ex-wife, he has sole custody of their four-year-old daughter. If only he could focus on work and not worry about picking up his daughter by six each day, he'd be able to take on more cases and bring in more money. But for the moment, he's not committing to any new project. Determined to get someone to help her, when Michelle learns of Josh's dilemma, she proposes an outlandish temporary marriage-of-convenience if Josh will take her case. An unlikely partnership is formed with the rules clearly laid out. But what happens when one of the partners wants to change the rules? If you love marriage of convenience stories, you'll enjoy Michelle's Marriage Deal-fun, heartwarming and romantic escapism at its best.

Abby Talmadge is impatient with the time it's taking to locate their missing father. When she learns one of three men could be him, she jumps in to find out. The quest isn't as straight forward as she hoped. The man she came to meet is out of town for two more weeks. She devises a plan to go undercover on the estate and be front and center when he returns. The only fly in the ointment is Dev Hamilton, stepson extraordinaire. Dev Hamilton is protective of his stepfather because of his illness. When someone out of the blue claims to be his long lost daughter, Dev suspects a scam. He refuses to even discuss the matter. Beside, now that his secretary has hired a new gardener, he has other interests in the pretty young woman who will be living on his dad's estate. Abby's pretense of being a gardener isn't easy, she hardly knows a daisy from a rose. But she has to convince Dev enough to let her stay until his stepfather returns. Can the relationship that's starting to bloom between them hold up when her charade is discovered? If you love romance stories where someone's playing a charade, you'll be intrigued with Trusting Abby and how she does her best to pull off the pretense.
