January Cold Kill (A Gabrielle Johns novel Book 1)

Gorgeous ex-showgirl Gabrielle Johns, 29, makes a good living as a backroom poker in Reno, Nevada. "Good-old-boys" check out her blond hair and Playmate figure and think she'll be easy picking. Wrong. She has a gift for poker. But having trained years ago as a PI at her father-in-law's investigative firm, people she knows come to her for help. She refers them to her father-in-law, but under the delusion that Gabbi still works for him, Bert puts the cases back on Gabbi's shoulders. On a cold day in January, Ashley Dinsmore, the young wife of a federal judge, asks Gabbi for help. She's being stalked by a man who says he loves her. He has compromising pictures of them “together.” For Ashley, it's a nightmare, one she desperately wants to escape. She hopes Gabbi will be able to get him to stop, and get the pictures, without her husband finding out. As usual, Bert dumps the case on Gabbi's shoulders, putting her squarely in the jaws of a meat-grinder that could cost her her life.
