DOUBLE TROUBLE
Two Lori Wilde romances together for the first time in print!
When her thrill-seeking twin sister goes missing, Maddie Cooper must come to her rescue-which means teaming up with irritating, arrogant, and altogether way too sexy FBI agent David Marshall. David isn't one to get easily distracted but his new self-proclaimed partner has him completely sidetracked with her delectable curves and knockout smile. His first priority: follow the leads in the case. Then he can go about the all-too-enjoyable task of following his heart . .
PR specialist Cassie Cooper loves the adrenaline rush of a well-planned party. And a masquerade ball at the museum is her best yet. But when a legendary amulet is stolen practically from under her nose, she needs the help of her nemesis, archaeologist Harrison Standish. No-nonsense Harrison has all the intensity of Indiana Jones. Though just when he needs his full attention on their mission, he's having the damnedest time keeping his mind-and his hands-off Cassie . . .

Excerpts:
Charmed and Dangerous
The
air in the room seemed miserably hot even though he’d twisted up the controls
on the air conditioner whenhe’d walked in. Or maybe it was the heat of his
bloodrushing through his veins.
“Nobody
likes being intimidated.”
“Don’t
be so sure of that. Ever heard of a submissive?”
“I’m
not a submissive,” she denied. “Far from it.”
“You
sure? You entered a man’s room while he wasgetting undressed.”
“That
doesn’t make me submissive. If anything, I’d sayI was dominant.”
“You
dominating me?” The notion was so foreign, soutterly ridiculous that David
burst out laughing.
His
derision incensed her. She stabbed an index fingerin his direction. “Maybe
you’re the one who’s longing tobe submissive.”
“Oh
yeah?” Swiftly he covered the remaining distancebetween them.
She
backpedaled until she ran smack dab into the wall.David grabbed both her
wrists, pinned her hands aboveher head and swiftly shoved one knee between her
legs,completely hemming her in with no way out.
“This
look like submissive to you, darlin’?” hegrowled.
They
were both breathing hard, their lips almosttouching.
“For
your information I’m a third degree black belt inkarate,” she said.
“Bring
it on. I’m fifth degree.”
“You
don’t threaten me.” She gulped, belying her ownbravado.
He
saw the column of her throat muscles pump hardand he knew he’d succeeded in
intimidating her, but stillshe held her ground. She might be scared, but she
was too damned proud to run away.
Mission: Irresistible
“Harry?”
“Uh‑huh?” He hesitated.
“Take this with you.”
“Wha—”
But that was as far as he got because Cassie
unsnappedher
seat belt, leaned across the console, and planted a kisson his scarred cheek.
He
was so startled that he jerked his head toward her,and her mouth slipped from
his cheek to his lips.
The
next thing he knew he was kissing her.
Full
on.
It
was hot and wet and moving.
For
one endless second Harrison forgot about the FordFocus parked behind him. He
forgot about the Minoanhieroglyphics. He forgot about Solen and Kiya. He
forgotabout the amulet. He even forgot about Adam.
Whereas
before there was danger, now there was nothingbut pleasure. His full attention
was focused on onething and one thing alone.
Cassie
Cooper’s mouth.
Lush
and full and ripe and sweet. She tasted of summer.Throbbing and heated and
humid. Filled with lifeand intensity and drama.
He
remembered swimming pools and lounging on thebeach, smelled chlorine and suntan
lotion. He thought ofthe Fourth of July, heard bottle rockets scream and
BlackCats explode. He saw fireflies flickering through pecantrees, and he spied
charcoal embers glowing white-hotinthe bottom of a barbecue grill.
It
all added up to a glorious wow.
