Love Shouldn't Hurt — Robin Hardy

The private detectives of Sammy and Marni's agency are happily engaged in collecting delinquent child support on a pro bono basis. But since Sammy can't refrain from opening his wallet to every struggling parent he meets, Marni is forced to tighten the purse strings. Whereupon Sammy discovers another income opportunity in ghostwriting a handbook on crime for Christian celebrity Anne Paget. Wading through the seamy underside of Christian ministry is disconcerting, but Sammy is not truly devastated until his dad, who is working for wealthy Dallas socialite Dolly Threlkeld, decides to marry her. Sammy: Love Shouldn't Hurt is the tenth in a series featuring the most misunderstood cop that was never on the Dallas police force-but new readers can comfortably jump into the series at any point. Robin Hardy is the author of the Annals of Lystra, the Latter Annals of Lystra, the Streiker Saga, the Sammy Series, The Idecis, Padre and its sequel, His Strange Ways, and Unknown Name, Unknown Number: A Wimsey Reade Mystery. She is also the editor of W.W. Melton's classic devotional, Sifted But Saved. For photos, articles, and updates on new releases, see www.robinhardy.com.
