Free prequel short story to the Rylie Cooper Mystery series. Rylie finally convinces her boyfriend to adopt a dog. When she sees Fizzy it's love at first sight. But when he is more of a challenge than she expected, will she keep her furry friend or be swayed by her boyfriend and take him back to the shelter?

Rylie’s life has hit a serious snag. Cheated on, lied to, and suddenly homeless and unemployed, her entire world has capsized. All that’s left to do is cut line, start over, and move into her parents’ basement . . . temporarily. Bring on the boomerang jokes. The perfect solution to all of her problems could be a job as an urban park ranger—whatever that is. But finding a dead body stuck in a catfish trap on her first shift leaves her wondering if she’s waded in a little too deep. If it wasn’t for the appearance of Luke Hannah—the lead investigator on the case and her first love—she may have cut her losses and returned to the help wanted ads. But now Rylie is determined to prove herself . . . in more ways than one. When the authorities pin the murder on the wrong man, Rylie casts out to catch the real killer and clear the innocent man’s name—at the risk of losing her job or even becoming catfish bait herself. Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, CATFISHED, the first book in the Rylie Cooper Mystery series, is a witty murder mystery baited with snarky humor and a hint of romance.

There had been two men in that boat. Two. Rylie is positive . . . ish. Living with her parents may be driving her crazy, but not crazy enough to start conjuring up men in her mind—regardless of how long it had been since she’d had a date. As an urban park ranger, Rylie is practically surrounded by men all day, every day. Making up more in her head would only complicate her life further. When she confronts the one man remaining in the boat, he’s more eager to discuss her online dating profile than any possible wrongdoing. But he’s the last thing on her mind when bodies start turning up. With a hardened criminal just escaped from prison as a prime suspect, Rylie is only too eager to let Luke handle this investigation. That is, until he arrests the guy she’s dating on suspicion of murder. Caught between two men, Rylie takes it upon herself to dive in and do some digging of her own. But the truth isn’t always so forthcoming and could leave her jobless and . . . headless. Fans of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series and Meg Cabot’s Heather Wells Mysteries will love this second installment of the Rylie Cooper Mystery series.

If Rylie had a checklist for her life it would look like • Full-time job . . . check. • Serious boyfriend . . . check. •No dead bodies in months . . . check. On paper it looked good. Fantastic even. But in reality, she still lives in her parents' basement, doesn't feel like part of the ranger team, and knows a body is bound to show up at any moment. When she discovers a teenage boy with severe hypothermia, Rylie has to work with one of her biggest rivals to figure out what happened. High school never seemed so brutal. In a world of cliques and parties, championship football games and college applications, Rylie is sure she'll be able to solve the mystery. Until she finds another boy . . . Will Rylie be able to piece together the hormone-fueled puzzle before it's too late? Will the boys survive? And will she ever get out of her parents' basement?

It wasn't every day you found fingers poking up from the ground. Especially while supervising a bunch of tweenagers. But that was just Rylie's luck. Ever since she'd become a park ranger, bodies seemed to show up all over the place-on a trail, in a catfish trap, on a frozen beach. Now, they came from below. Like zombies. And it wasn't even Halloween. A new clue in a cold case should have gotten the police interested, if not downright excited. But when the police take over, they seem to want to keep the case cold. As does one of the murder suspects. It's up to Rylie to find the truth . . . even if she has to risk her job and freedom to do so. When everyone seems to be against her, she has a decision to make. Is investigating a murder worth going to jail for?

Rylie is staying out of it. No more investigating, no more drama, no more danger. She has enough on her plate training the woman who completely upended her life. But when someone is brutally attacked, Rylie is conflicted. Surely, the police can handle the investigation. They have the experience, the training, the knowledge. And Rylie not only has a job to keep, but friends she doesn't want to let down . . . again. Until she realizes she may have been the target of the attack and the woman she's training—her nemesis—may have been the attacker. Will Rylie be able to let the police handle the investigation or will she put her own life at risk to bring the attacker to justice?

It’s just a fishing tournament. A boring old—Who are we kidding? When is anything boring when Rylie’s around? It’s a simple event—the person who catches the largest fish wins. But rumors of cheating are on the air, and Rylie’s assigned summie is ready to catch those dirty, rotten criminals. Whether they exist or not. Between the tournament and planning her wedding, Rylie has her hands full. When two fishing superstars—who just happen to be exes—enter the event, Rylie knows things are about to get out of control. Will Rylie be able to stay out of trouble this time? Will she finally find the perfect wedding dress?

The last thing Rylie needs is a dead body ruining her big day. Or one of Garrett’s exes. Love is not jealous. But Rylie is. Garrett is the perfect man—rich, mature, breathtakingly gorgeous. Plus, he still wants to marry Rylie after she almost got him killed with her stupid investigations. But those days are over. No more investigating. Period. When a snowstorm blows in with a vengeance, they’re all trapped in the lodge together. And one of them might just be a murderer. Will they all make it out alive? And if they do, will Garrett still want to marry Rylie?

Never did she think she'd be on a beautiful island solving a murder. Now, women are turning up dead at the resort and the authorities seem to be covering up the truth—that the deaths aren't accidental, but murders. Can Rylie solve the mystery before anyone else is murdered?

Sometimes murders jump right off the pages of a book. Rylie is back in Prairie City and trying to find her new normal. With her best friend busy with wedding planning in a different country and her love life in a precarious position, she's been avoiding the world by losing herself in mystery novels. But when she gets a call about four seemingly unrelated murders, Rylie sees the connection instantly. Back in the game, Rylie and her friends have to work together to solve murder mysteries straight from the pages of a book before someone else meets an untimely death. The ninth book in the Rylie Cooper Mystery Series will have you on the edge of your seat turning pages well into the night.
