The Brown and de Luca series centers on one of Maggie Shayne’s most popular pairings: Rachel de Luca, a self-help celebrity who was blind for most of her life, and Detective Mason Brown. When Rachel receives a corneal transplant from a murder victim, she starts seeing things no one else can. Her new visions draw her into Mason’s world of criminal investigations, and the two form an unlikely partnership that quickly turns personal.

The books blend romance with genuine suspense, and each entry raises the stakes for both the cases and the relationship between Rachel and Mason. Shayne originally published several of these through Harlequin’s MIRA imprint before self-publishing later installments. The series has also been repackaged under the Brown & de Luca Return banner with updated editions of some titles.
