Lady Pinkerton detectives, their rough and ready agents, and a whole lot of excitement and romance! The Pinkerton Matchmaker series tells the stories of the women determined to bring criminals to justice, and the agents who win their hearts. Each book is a standalone story, and they can be read in any order. This box set contains books 25-27 of the Pinkerton Matchmakers series: An Agent for Rilla (Book 25) by Sophie Dawson Rilla's experience growing up in a traveling theater troupe taught her that men considered women property. But she must get married if she wants a job as a Pinkerton Agent. However, she won't let her temporary husband treat her that way. When Pinkerton agent Morgan Weston reluctantly agrees to marry and take his wife on the case, he knows that he must keep Rilla of danger. He just hopes his past doesn't catch up with him in the meantime. Will they find the stolen gold they are sent to recover and get it back to Denver safely? Or will Rilla's beliefs about men and issues from Morgan's past hamper their investigation? More importantly, can they ever reveal their growing feelings toward each other, or must they keep them to themselves? An Agent for Sabrina (Book 26) by Patricia PacJac Carroll Sabrina is running from her past. He is running from his future. Sabrina Jones never expected to be set free from her life as a saloon girl. Thanks to a gift from Rand Ketcham, a notorious bounty hunter, she was able to leave her old life in the saloons. Colorado was where she wanted to go. What to do was still a mystery until she reached Denver and saw an ad in the paper for women to apply as Pinkerton agents. She figured she'd be good. All those years in the saloon had taught her how to read people. That ought to come in handy as a detective. Tom Wesley liked the free, wild life. He was a Pinkerton agent and good at it. Not many would challenge his gun or fist. Only his father, Preacher Jacob Wesley, was a strict man. Tom had left because of his rules. But the old man still had strings attached to him. Growing up under the Word of the Lord to obey your father was glued to Tom's soul. So far, he hadn't outrun them, though he'd tried awfully hard. He had until he was thirty. At least, that was what his father had told him. Tom tried to duck the words, but they haunted him. Then again, he was only twenty-nine. When their lives collide, Tom and Sabrina are thrown together in a case that will test them both. An Agent for Josie (Book 27) by P. Creeden Marriage has always been the furthest thing from Josie Roth's mind. After all, the majority of men cannot suffer a woman to vote, much less tolerate one who is smarter than him. For want of a son to take over his practice, Josie's father raised his only child to do the job. Even though she graduated summa cum laude at the New England Women's College of Medicine, many still looked down on her, believing that women should be either nurses or midwives. So, her father decided to travel out West and start a practice where there was a shortage of good doctors. Billy Hogge worked with Allan Pinkerton as an agent in Chicago before the fire. In fact, as a former fireman, he had volunteered to help bring the flames under control before they consumed the city. When the Chicago office shuts down, he joins the Pinkerton agency in Denver to work on crimes out west. He sees it as a great opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The two of them meet under the unfortunate circumstance of Josie's father's death. But she's too sick to take care of arrangements, so Billy does them. When she finally comes to herself and mourns her father, she discovers that the town isn't free of the prejudices she'd been dealing with in the East, and she turns to the Pinkerton agency for employment.
