Description
New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin's Desperate Girls is a tightly wound, fast-paced romantic thriller that follows a desperate woman on the run as she hides from a killer's symbolic revenge spree.
Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops, criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp wit and pointed words, she has a tendency to intimidate, and she likes it that way. She's a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom, but in her personal life, she's a mess.

When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces and starts a killing spree to wipe out those who put him behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for her life.

When the police come up empty-handed, Brynn turns to a private security firm for protection. But when she defies advice and gets involved in the investigation, even the former Secret Service agent assigned to protect her may not be able to keep her safe. With every new clue she discovers, Brynn is pulled back into the vortex of a disturbing case from her past.

As the clock ticks down on a manhunt, Brynn's desperate search for the truth unearths long-buried secrets and reignites a killer's fury.

        Starred review from June 25, 2018
        Griffin (Touch of Red) weaves just enough romance into this intensely suspenseful novel of murder and passion. Defense attorney Brynn, about to begin a trial to save her client’s life, hears that her former colleague has been murdered. The main suspect is a man she helped put in jail, who’s now free and looking for revenge. Brynn’s boss promptly hires private security to protect Brynn and her cocounsel. At first Brynn is furious about her activities being dictated, but the more she gets to know her guard, Erik, the less she minds. Erik, former military and Secret Service, does everything by the book: no distractions, not even caffeine on the job. But the more time he spends with Brynn, the harder it is to follow the rules. As they embark on the dual thrill rides of the trial and the search for the killer, fire builds between Brynn and Erik. Griffin pulls out all the stops in a phenomenal twist ending that will leave readers stunned. Agent: Kevan Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary.

        August 1, 2018

        The escape of a serial killer coincides with the brutal murder of a judge (formerly an attorney who originally put him away), and everyone involved goes on high alert. Yet when defense attorney Brynn Holloran's boss hires a high-powered bodyguard agency to protect her, she rebels. No way will she let anyone keep her from defending her innocent client, no matter how dangerous it gets--or how appealing her totally hot keeper Erik Morgan proves to be. A stubborn-to-a-fault, justice-driven heroine and a hero pledged to protect her discover passion in a romantic thriller that keeps the action lively and everyone guessing, with more than one unexpected twist. VERDICT Taut, seamlessly planned, and emotionally intense, Griffin's latest draws readers in and keeps them on edge in an adrenalin-fueled story that, despite a title that doesn't quite fit, delivers. A rewarding, chilling read. Griffin (Touch of Red) lives in Austin, TX.
