Rachel Grant is a USA Today bestselling author from America who is known for writing mindblowing romance, suspense, and thriller novels. She is widely popular for her two novel series, Evidence, and Flashpoint. Recently, Grant has started a new series called the Fiona Carver series. In the Evidence series, each book features a different chief protagonist that remains at the heart of the story. The same theme is seen in the Flashpoint series as well. However, Grant’s latest series features a dedicated central character in the form of Fiona Carver. Most of the lead protagonists created by her are shown as archaeologists like her. She has worked in the field of archaeology for around a decade before deciding to switch careers and now uses her experience from her former profession to come up with intriguing stories revolving around politics, war, and archaeology.

Grant’s books have worked wonders for her and have helped her to establish herself as a noteworthy author of the thriller/suspense genre. Many prominent critics have rated her novels as being as diverse and excavating as a cemetery located underneath a San Francisco-based historic art museum or surveying a Kentucky-based depressed mining town, and mapping a 17th century Dutch and Spanish fort on the Sint Maarten island in the Netherlands Antilles. In her adventures and travels, while working as an archaeological surveyor, author Grant found numerous artifacts and sites. But, she believes the true treasure that she came across in those adventures was in the form of her husband named David.

The two met while they were working together on the excavation of a 4 thousand-year-old site in Seattle that was about to be taken down to give way for a sewage treatment plant expansion. Grant often jokes about their first romantic meeting at a sewage plant and claims that she has no intention of mentioning it in a story if she ever plans to write one based on themselves. Currently, author Grant resides on one of the Pacific Northwest islands along with her loving husband and kids. She often spends time searching through her archaeological files to research her upcoming novels. Grant keeps herself busy most of the time with writing stories and manages to take out some time from her busy schedule to spend with her family. Her hard work and dedication in establishing herself as a popular author can be seen from her four nominations for the prestigious Golden Heart award and coming out as a finalist on all four occasions.

Grant hopes to win one in the near future. However, she is quite satisfied with the amount of success have received throughout the world and thinks that the love of her audience is the best reward that she can get for her work. Author Grant says that she wanted to become an author since she wrote her first novel in the sixth grade. But, her fascination for archaeology and history overtook that desire and so she had to put writing in the backseat. Choosing archaeology as a subject in college was a well-thought one as Grant believed it would allow her to pursue an exciting career as well as give her potential fodder for writing fiction later in life.

With the intention of writing still there at the back of her mind, Grant could not begin writing until her daughter was 2 years old. It was at that time that Grant and her husband decided she could give up her part-time consulting job with a small archaeological firm and focus completely on her writing. Grant chose romantic suspense as the genre better suited for and eventually came up with her debut novel, Grave Danger. After that, there was no looking and she has come up with numerous interesting stories and sold millions of copies altogether worldwide.

By carefully concealing her past, Erica succeeds in getting a job that gets her close to the person who bought the missing artifacts. And as she is about to complete her goal, Erica gets distracted by a charismatic, sexy intern who knocks at the door of her heart and makes her filled with the desire of having him.

However, Lee Scott is also not what he appears to be. He is looking to catch the lead conspirator involved in an international smuggling trade of artifacts. Lee thinks Erica is that conspirator and keeps a tab on all her activities. He even makes up his mind to seduce her and make her trust him blindly so as to unravel her secrets. While both are desperate to win in their respective missions, they end up sharing an attraction that neither of them is able to deny. When Erica’s life falls in danger, Lee puts his own life on the line to save the woman he has come to fall in love with.

The second installment of the series is known as ‘Body of Evidence’. It was also published in 2013 by Grant herself. This book shows US attorney Curt Dominick and archaeologist Mara Garrett in central roles. When Mara travels to North Korea for retrieving the GIs’ remains that were lost in combat, she gets arrested and faces charges of spying and a subsequent death sentence. Mara puts all her hopes in Curt Dominick to save her. The ambitious, sexy, and powerful US attorney had prosecuted her uncle, who was an ex-vice president of America.
