Book 1Elaine Brogan was the daughter of a thief.  But as a child growing up, he was the most delightful father in the world.  It wasn’t until she encountered a counterfeiting ring that everything changed for her.  Although her father was not one of the counterfeiters, he was involved in major theft from the company where he worked.  It all came to light when he tried to pass bills he did not know were counterfeit.  Then his whole past came to light.  He was arrested.Elaine was sixteen when her father committed suicide in jail.  She swore to avenge her father’s death, because she knew where those counterfeit bills came from.This begins a story of lust, murder and intrigue.Mike Wells does an excellent job in drawing us into this world.  He is a master story teller, and you will love the twists and turns he throws across your path.  He needs to work a little on showing instead of telling.  He doesn’t let the reader watch his characters respond to some situations, which would be even more powerful if he allowed us to watch the characters walk through their situations more often.Regardless, this book is well worth the read.  You will hope and wait and wonder what will happen next.
