Enjoy our next snipped from The Heist:
EXCERPT
Set Up: Even though nothing is missing, the Midwest Arts Council insists on sending a security expert to review the situation.
Whether Kara liked it or not, it was definitely her job to meet Ted Springs at the airport and to see that he was dealt with professionally.
She allowed her mind to wander to their first meeting in the Council’s Chicago offices. It had been a random event, an embarrassing experience. She’d barreled into him while exiting Alice Erikson’s office. Coming along behind her, Alice had made the introductions, saving an awkward moment as Kara disentangled herself from Ted’s arms. She’d never given their meeting much thought, other than to be aware he’d taken more time than needed to free her. She’d never expected to see him again.
Did he remember their brief encounter? Given his reluctance to let go of her quickly, she surmised he was a boob man.

A Heist? A Murder?
It’s villain’s choice.
A special-order art theft? Tedious, but seamless – until small town museum director Kara Daniels calls in the experts. Furious her favorite trio of priceless impressionist paintings has been stolen from its traveling exhibit on her watch, Kara is determined to save not only the paintings, but her future in the art world. She’ll stop at nothing to entrap the thief.
Ted Springs knows the underbelly of the criminal world a little closer than he might like—but he’s turned it to good advantage, first as a police officer, and now as detective for the Upper Midwest Arts Council. His job? To guarantee the security of the valuable paintings in the Council’s traveling exhibits.
Heat sizzles when Ted and Kara collide—can they work together, before it’s too late?

Interesting snippet!
Hmmm, I bet he does remember that collision! Fun snippet.
Looks like things will get complicated for her… 😉
That’s definitely awkward, especially if he’s a boob man. Great snippet!
Will he pretend not to remember? Or will he remind her of their previous encounter? Can’t wait to find out.
Boob man, indeed. I wonder if that’s how he’ll remember the encounter.
I’ll bet he remembers and can’t wait to ‘run into’ her again.
A blush-worthy memory for her, but he might think it was a small conquest. Ugh–the boob guy! 🙂
Yes, that last line is hysterical. I just hope he remembers more of her than just that. 🙂
She’ll be able to tell if he remembers her pretty quickly, I bet. Especially if she’s right about him admiring her assets.
I’d bet my collection of Jane Austen novels he remember her – in great detail *snicker*
