An Agent for Scarlett (Book 44) by Marie Higgins
Scarlett St. John is a lonely rich woman who can't seem to follow society's rules on being proper. She relies on her grandfather and his servants to keep her entertained from day to day until… an ancient artifact is stolen from her grandfather and a Pinkerton Agent arrives to solve the crime. Although Travis Hancock is very handsome and charming, he had broken her heart as a young girl, and she doesn't think she can forgive him. But when the Pinkerton agent involves her in the case of searching for the priceless artifact, she's anxious to find her grandfather's ancient shield. Suddenly, the hunt becomes exciting. Working with an agent isn't that terrible –quite the opposite, in fact. The sweetly conniving man just might change her mind about forgiving him after all.

An Agent for Pearl (Book 45) by Christine Sterling

Pearl Bolton has enough on her plate, she doesn't want to add anything else. She loves her job as a cook for the Pinkerton's Denver office. At night she rushes home to help take care of her invalid father. The last thing she needs is a husband, no matter how temporary.

Every time Zeke comes around, it's as though Pearl avoids him. He knows exactly what to do to get her attention. Someone has sabotaged a national baking competition and he needs her to help solve the case. The fact he must marry her is just a bonus!

Does Pearl assist Zeke in finding the saboteur? When Pearl is the victim of a crime, will Zeke be able to protect her and solve the case? Will their marriage end at the case's conclusion, or will they bake up something new together?
