Opal Cahill was raised as the only girl in a family full of rough and tumble men. They taught her to fight and survive and taught her to push aside fantasies, because reality is as harsh as the rough side of a cat’s tongue. But she could never let go of reading about adventures of life in the west and dreaming that she might one day become a Pinkerton agent, like her hero, Kate Warne. But when her … her father passes, she’s stuck living in Atlantic City with her cousin who sometimes has them living in rundown shacks and sometimes, high end hotels. Until one day, that odd lifestyle catches up with them both. When Opal must choose a place to go out west, she heads to the Pinkerton office in Denver in the hopes that they might still interview her though it’s months after they originally advertised they were accepting applicants.
Caleb Wade has just come back from going deep undercover. He returns to the Pinkerton office and runs into one of the most stubborn, frustrating, and interesting women he’s ever met. When he finds out that she’s not only his new partner but his new wife, he digs in his heels before he decides to treat it as another undercover act. Together the two travel to Ohio to help Archie’s good friend and owner of the Turner Theater deal with an arsonist who has already succeeded in burning down the theater once and threatens to do it again. Both Caleb and Opal must learn to get past their stubborn ways and work together in order to capture the person who threatens not only the building but the lead actress as well.
Lady Pinkerton detectives, their rough and ready agents, and a whole lot of excitement and romance! The Pinkerton Matchmaker series tells the stories of the women determined to bring criminals to justice, and the agents who win their hearts. Each book is a standalone story and they can be read in any order.

A lovely romance.
This is a lovely addition to the Pinkerton Matchmaker Series, Caleb and Opal may not have the best beginning….but they agree honestly is the best policy and from there they quickly ‘click’. Working together shows them just how well they are matched and just how stubborn they both are too!
A sweet book which I read on Kindle Unlimited.
Another delightful tale in this wonderful series! I’m so glad the stories aren’t getting boring or repetitive! I wish there had been more follow up of her cousin though!
Opal Cahill loved to read about her hero Kate Warne & dreaming of life in the West & becoming a Pinkerton Agent like her hero. She was raised as an only girl in all men & boys. When Opal’s Father died all she had left was her cousins, which were all boys. Opal grew up a tomboy learning how to climb trees, fight & everything boys did. She definitely knew how survive & take care of her self. They want her to forget about her fantasies about the West & be tuff, but she always loved to read her novels about her hero, Kate Warne. Her cousin Dudley took her under his wing so to speak and took care of her. Well he was a gambler & they were in a town where he got in trouble. He went back to the shack to get Opal & his money & clear out on the train in the morning. He told Opal no matter what to pretend she did not know him to protect herself. She was to go West & he was going to Atlanta. They were sitting in the train station separately & the gamblers spotted him. When they started beating on him she couldn’t stand it anymore. She pulled out her weapons and took action. Needless to say she put a hurting on them. She knock one out cold. They got on the train & went their separate ways.
She decided if she must go out west, why not go to the Pinkerton Office, even if it’s months after the ad she had was posted. She got to town got herself a room. Next morning she goes down office, but she is afraid to go in. She is marching back & forth trying to get up enough nerve to go in when Caleb Wade comes up & ask her if he can help her. Does she go in for an interview? Does she take the test? Does she pass the test? What do you think she does? They started a new rule, do you think she will go for it or not? I think this is a very good book as is all of Pauline Creeden’s books are. You will not be disappointed at all. I love books that go back to olden times so naturally I love this book. I have given my honest opinion of this book.
P Creeden masterfully creates a story of romance and suspense. Opal is fulfilling her dream to be a Pinkerton Agent when she is paired with Caleb, an agent who is immediately enchanted by her, but doesn’t believe women should be agents. I was hooked from beginning to end. I highly recommend reading An Agent For Opal.
Another great Pinkerton book by P Creeden. I really enjoyed the characters in this story. I loved Opal and how brave she is even when life seems unfair. There is humor with lots of action and some romance to make this a truly sensational read.
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
This is a very well written book that has drama, mystery, suspense and romance. I’ve never read a book about the Pinkerton Agency like this one but I really enjoyed it. I loved the ending. This is a stand alone book, so grab it today.
