Sometimes fascinating, sometimes humorous trip back to the 80s, 1980s that is. "The Fatal Fortune" by Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Jayne Castle is the final of a 4 book short series written to appeal to female fans of Remington Steele and Moonlighting.

She runs a temp employment agency and he's a security consultant, but she keeps dragging him into investigations as the two continually grow closer in their own relationship.

Cute series.
