The Guinevere Jones series by Jayne Castle follows the adventures of Guinevere Jones, a temp worker who keeps finding herself in the middle of dangerous situations through her various assignments. She teams up with private investigator Zachariah Justis, and their professional partnership turns into a romance as they work through each case together.
Published in 1985 and 1986, the series includes The Desperate Game, The Chilling Deception, The Sinister Touch, and The Fatal Fortune. Each book stands alone as a mystery, but the relationship between Guinevere and Zac develops across the series. These were among the earlier works Jayne Ann Krentz published under her Castle pen name, before she shifted that name to futuristic romance settings.
