Coincidence?
The beauty who washes up on Mayor Cameron Delaney's private beach eerily
resembles his dead girlfriend, Carla. But Laurie Carter, Carla's lookalike
cousin, is actually an undercover detective. She's on the job, investigating
Cameron's connection to a human-trafficking ring. Laurie knows she must keep
her cover—but she's struggling to deceive the man she finds irresistible…
When
Cameron discovers why Laurie is in town, he's furious to realize he's being
framed—and stunned at his sudden feelings for the lovely agent. But as they
uncover the traffickers, a savage serial killer targets Laurie. Can Cameron
save the life of the woman he's come to care for…and unmask the threat haunting
his family and Stillwater?

Book ExcerptTake his breath away.
That was her one and only aim for this first encounter, and Laurie Carter had three things working in her favor as she kept the target in her sights.
'First, there was the understated designer swimsuit that molded itself to her curves, while also cleverly drawing attention to the length of her legs.
Then there was the fact that she was wading ashore onto his private lakeside property. As he sprang to his feet from the rock where he had been sitting gazing out across the water, no doubt he was about to point that fact out to her. Laurie did a rapid check, reconciling this man’s physical attributes with the photographs she had carefully memorized. Dark, wavy hair, swept back from a broad brow and worn slightly long so that it curled onto his neck. Deep-set eyes above high, Slavic cheekbones. A hawk-like nose and lips that were contrastingly full. She had the right man. There was no mistaking him. Tall and powerfully built, he moved toward her with the grace of an athlete, a frown line pulling his dark eyebrows together.
Judging the distance between them to perfection, Laurie waited until he was close enough. As she fell into a pretend faint, she saw shock and something more register in the hazel depths of Cameron Delaney’s eyes. Advantage number three was always going to be the one that clinched it. As his reflexes kicked in and he scooped her up into his arms, Laurie let her head flop back, allowing him a clear view of her face.
His exhalation was an audible hiss. Mission accomplished. The fact that she was trespassing on his land had been the thing that made him notice her. The swimsuit had drawn his attention to her curves and kept him looking. Neither of those things had succeeded in driving the breath from his lungs. That had been achieved for one reason only…because she was the mirror image of his dead girlfriend.
