The Montana/Trey Fortier series is a compact two-book set from Kay Hooper, with both Crime of Passion and House of Cards published in 1991. The books are connected by setting and characters, with Montana providing the backdrop for stories that mix romance with elements of suspense.
This duology sits at the transition point in Hooper’s career, as she was moving from pure category romance toward the darker romantic suspense that would define her later work. Both books are standalone reads that benefit from being read together.
