Wife for Hire Private Investigator follows a female PI whose unique method involves posing as a wife to gain access to cases, gather information, or protect clients. The premise combines the investigative elements of detective fiction with the romantic tension created when fake marriages or pretend relationships blur into real feelings.
Across five books, the protagonist takes on different cases that require her “wife for hire” cover, leading to mysteries she must solve while navigating the complications of intimate pretense. The setup creates natural romantic tension and comedic situations alongside the criminal investigations. Christian faith provides moral grounding as the protagonist balances the necessary deception of undercover work with honesty in her heart and values.
