Book Synopsis:
For the last five years, bookish Claire Williams has been living for the dying. Now that her stint as caretaker is over, she’s off to see the world. She needs quick cash first, so a temp job at Anderson Auctions seems perfect, especially with the unexpected benefits, including the hottest man she’s ever laid eyes—or hands—on.
Former Marine William Anderson has been burned one time too many. His military training makes him the perfect man to flush out the spy undercutting his family business, but no amount of training can prepare him for the kind of undercover work he’ll have to do when the sexy new temp is implicated. Desire lands them in bed...but duty may cost him his heart.
One line summary:
Former Marine investigating corporate espionage within his family business falls for the number one suspect.

Excerpt: Claire-ism
She took a bite and chewed for a moment before answering. “Yeah. Well,
I’ve taken care of people my whole life, pretty much. Now all those people are
gone. For the first time ever, I’m free.”
“So you turned down my offer for lunch because...?”
Her eyes shot up to his. “Because I’d reached my all- time record number
of Claire-isms for the day and the earth might have exploded if I committed
another.”
“Claire-ism?”
She ate a bite of yogurt and nodded. “Yeah. When something goes
massively wrong or especially when something is embarrassing, my friend Heather
calls it a Claire-ism. I’m forever doing odd or embarrassing things.”
“Your skirt ripping was a Claire-ism.”
“A prime example. So was spilling my purse.”
He nodded. “So how does that relate to my lunch offer?”
“That had massive Claire-ism potential.”
He smiled—he found himself doing that constantly around her—and took
another bite of the roast beef sandwich. “In what regard?”
“In every regard. First, I wasn’t sure
you meant it. Second, I would have done something awkward. Third, it made no
sense.” She dipped her spoon in the yogurt, and he watched her pull the utensil
between her lips.
He
leaned closer, staring at her full mouth before reluctantly dragging his gaze
back to her deep hazel eyes. “First, I meant it. Really meant it.” Her
breath caught, and she blinked slowly. “Second,” he said, leaning even
closer—close enough to smell something floral, perhaps her shampoo, “something
that you consider awkward, I might like. Take the ripped skirt for example—I
liked that a lot.” A blush crept up her neck and over her face. “And as for not
making sense...” He leaned back in his chair. “Go out to dinner with me so I
can show you how much sense it makes.” She remained silent, but her eyes never
left his. “Say yes,” he prompted, surprised at how badly he wanted her to
agree.
