Alex Morgan is a bounty hunter. Hope Harrington is a woman with no life. Combine the two of them and you have one of the most tongue-in-cheek and hilarious mysteries ever written!
Best seller and award winner Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc and critically acclaimed author and real life bounty hunter Yvonne Mason have teamed up to give their readers one heck of a good time.
Alex Morgan has lost her jumper…a master of disguises...and tracked him to Tampa Bay where he has assumed the name of Hope Harrington. Mistakenly trying to arrest Hope, the blunt and traveled bounty hunter finds that she has been outwitted again and the under appreciated receptionist finds herself in the midst of one melee she could have never dreamed of.
Told entirely in the first person, this book WHEN FATES COLLIDE is the first of what will be one of many in the Morgan and Harrington mystery series, this is one book not to be missed!

The Dream: Since learning to write at the age of five, Yvonne has wanted to be an author. She wrote her first novel Stan’s Story beginning in 1974 and completed it in 2006. Publication seemed impossible as rejections grew to 10 years. Determined, she continued adding to the story until her dream came true in 2006.
The Inspiration: Yvonne’s brother Stan has been her inspiration and hero in every facet of her life. He was stricken with Encephalitis at the tender age of nine months. He has defied every roadblock placed in his way and has been the driving force in every one of her accomplishments. He is the one who taught her never to give up.
With a great sense of humour, Yvonne Mason and Andrea Dean Van Scoyoc take us for a ride with two bounty hunters; one is an experienced professional (think hard-boiled crime novels), the other one is a rookie (yes, you've got the picture!). We are thoroughly entertained, with no time to recover our breath in between bursts of laughter. My only regret is that this book is only 85 pages long. I reached the last page and find myself wanting more! Fortunately, there is a sequel.......
