Changing the Rules
“Catherine Bybee mixes pulse-pounding action with sensual scenes in
CHANGING THE RULES, following a pair of colleagues who try to resist falling
for each other while working undercover together.” – Library Journal
The Steamy First Novel in Her New Adrenaline-fueled Richter Series
Over eight million readers have fallen for the charming characters, captivating plots, and sizzling
romantic entanglements in Catherine Bybee’s New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA
Today bestselling novels. Of the thirty-six books she has written over the course of her fabulously
successful career, the First Wives series is a particular fan favorite.
Bybee’s devoted readers are in for delicious treat. In CHANGING THE RULES: Book One
of the Richter Series (Amazon Montlake; March 23, 2021), Catherine Bybee has written a
Charlie’s Angels-meets-21 Jump Street thrillfest with a feisty cast of characters, whom readers
first met in Say It Again (Montlake; Sept. 2019), the final book in the First Wives series.
As an employee of MacBain Security and Solutions, Claire Kelly can certainly hold her own. Armed with an impressive set of covert skills, she’s more than prepared to tackle any job that comes her way…except one involving Cooper Lockman.
Cooper and Claire used to work together before his feelings for her sent him packing to Europe for six long years. But now he’s back and determined to ignore the still-smoldering heat that lingers between them.
Their current mission: go undercover together at a California high school to root out the mastermind behind a prostitution ring targeting young girls. The closer they get to the truth and the closer they get to each other, however, the deadlier their task becomes. As Claire and Cooper risk their lives to bring down their target, will their hearts be the final casualties?
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Catherine opened up about her storytelling process.
“I love writing about modern women and strong women and relationships and women that are
empowered by other women…I really think female-centric relationships are part of what makes
my books so essential for my readers.”
Bybee’s signature female friendships are front and center in CHANGING THE RULES, which features Richter grads Claire Kelly and Jax Simon. Six years have passed since their German boarding
school days, and they have graduated to full-time undercover agent status. Their latest assignment? Going undercover as high school students – one public and one private. Claire and Jax not only have the
chance to experience real high schools for the first time; they may also have to put the unorthodox skills they learned at Richter to good use.
