Blurb: Pretending to be a couple may drive them crazy.
Feisty mechanic Betty Smith should have only
one thing on her mind—catching the conman who swindled her mother. Not
the sexy stranger who kissed her then completely disappeared.
Undercover FBI agent Joe Carter needs to focus
on the bad guy who got away, not the gorgeous headstrong brunette who watches
too many cop shows and keeps interfering in his case. Unfortunately, catching
their prey before he skips town means working together.
But while entering the vintage car rally as a
couple seemed like a good idea at the
time, faking feelings for each other turns out to be the easiest part. Neither
one can allow anything to get in their way, but staying away from each other is
impossible. They both know, though, once their plan is complete, so is their
time together.

Excerpt:
“Hungry?”
Betty’s
heart pounded hard enough to burst. She swung around, and her startled gaze
shot to the man who filled the doorway. A man with midnight-blue eyes.
Him.
Her
hand fluttered at her throat. What on earth was the stranger from this morning
doing here? Had he followed her?
“You’re Betty?” His eyes scanned her face
with an I-don’t-believe-it look. He took a step forward, then another.
Everything
in Betty rioted with the urge to escape. She eyed the doorway behind him and
edged farther behind the table, putting solid pine between them. Her mouth was
so dry it was as if she’d spent days crawling through the desert. He knows my name. She swallowed. “What
are you doing here?”
“Calm down.” As if realizing her agitation, he
stopped. Held up his hands palms-out. “I’m Joe Carter.”
“You’re Joe Carter?”
“Is
there an echo in here?” His hands lowered to his sides. The tension seemed to
leave his shoulders and the corners of his mouth lifted in a smile.
Smoothing
a hand over her hair, she glanced down at the table. A funny, fluttery feeling
on seeing that smile replaced the panic she’d felt moments earlier. Unwanted
awareness of him chased the tension from her body and filled it with warmth.
She
rubbed the ache blooming at her temple. “Very funny.” To her annoyance, her
words came out husky-soft, rather than sarcasm-laced. “I’ve been waiting here
for almost two hours for a carpenter to show up, and now you? If you’re Joe,
what were you doing grabbing me this morning?”
He
avoided the question and looked past her at the open freezer door. “Looks like
you were keeping yourself busy. Raiding the freezer, were you?”
Huh.
“I
was hungry. Someone kept me waiting.” The only reason she would ever break into
someone else’s freezer was under desperate circumstances. “What are you,
carpenter or…”
“It’s
complicated.” He smiled, and once again attraction grabbed her insides with
both hands and twisted. “But I have got a job to do this evening before we
talk. I’m hungry too.” A black eyebrow arched. “Maybe you and I could have
dinner after I’ve assembled the bed?”
Faded
jeans rode low on his lean hips and clung to his thighs. Above them, he wore a
chunky navy sweater under a battered black leather jacket. Average, everyday
clothing. But the breadth of his shoulders, the glimpse of tanned collarbone
evident in the dip of the sweater’s crew neck, were far from average or
everyday. She scanned down. Work boots. Big work boots. Big feet, big… Cutting that thought off at the pass, Betty’s gaze
shot up to collide with his.
Amusement
danced in his eyes. “Well? Like what you see?”
Good excerpt!
