Constant Craving

by Tori Carrington

Adam Grayson, undercover FBI agent extraordinaire, had never hated an assignment so much--or wanted a woman so badly. His new supervisor, Eva Burgess, had quickly become a prominent player in his favorite fantasy. Not that he had any chance with her--his cover as a geeky accountant pretty well shot down any possibilities there. Then she propositioned him.-- Alone and expecting, Eva needed to find a husband--at least a temporary one. And with Adam...

delightful reprint of the first team Carrington tale

FBI Financial Crimes Unit Agent Adam Grayson is undercover working as an accountant at Sheffert, Logan and Brace, Certified Public Accountants, in order to find evidence of income tax evasion by partner Norman Sheffert. The assignment is boring except for his boss at the firm junior partner Eva Burgess, the star of his daydreams and night fantasies. Not only has she refused to date him, his Fed superior Wentworth informs him the case is a bust unlike Adam's efforts following the terrorist money trail. However, Eva asks the "geeky" Adam for a favor. She needs a temporary spouse to take home with her when she visits her ailing father, as she has just gotten a divorce and her parents, who never met her husband, are unaware that she is single. . He agrees as he sees this is his last chance to salvage the investigation; not the official one involving Sheffert, but the personal one between Adam and Eva. This is delightful reprint of the first team Carrington tale from the early 1990s and surprisingly in spite of the Internet explosion the story line holds up quite nicely. Readers will appreciate Adam's brain turning to mush as the CPA operative cannot think with his upper head when Eva is nearby. Though pretending a husband seems inappropriate even with good intentions, new readers will see why fans have a CONSTANT CRAVING for more from this authoring duo. Harriet Klausner

A treat for readers...

Adam Grayson is in the midst of an undercover investigation and discovers he'll do anything to learn the truth of who's behind the embezzling at the certified accounting firm. His supervisor--and who happens to be one sexy lady--Eva Burgess, has an offer he doesn't expect. She wants him to pose as her husband on a trip to Louisiana to visit her family. Eva is desperate. She got the call that her father is ill and she's needed at home. But her parents are expecting her up-until-now-unseen husband to accompany her. How can she tell them they're now divorced--and that Eva's carrying an even bigger secret leftover from the marriage. Asking geeky Adam to pose as her husband was done on the spur of the moment and she hardly knows the guy, but a long distance trip soon proves just the fuel to light the fiery start to a sizzling relationship. CONSTANT CRAVING is the first book that Tori Carrington ever published and it sets the tone for their future stories. Sexy, caring heroes. Greek families. Louisiana as a setting. And sexual chemistry that burns hotter than a candle. Eva and Adam thought nothing exciting happens in a rural town, but are soon mistaken when incidents happen. Is it related to Adam's investigation? While one might question why Eva hasn't told her family the truth about her marriage, anyone with families who have old fashioned values can understand her hesitation to admit she made a mistake. Adam is strong, even if he's posing as a geek. It doesn't take Eva long to look past his glasses and see the handsome man that he is. CONSTANT CRAVING takes readers from the big business environs to the rural life of Louisiana in a matter of pages. You'll fall in love with Adam, with his sense of humor and honor and building love for Eva. Will he find out who the bad guy is? And can he walk away from Eva when it's over? If you've only just recently discovered Tori Carrington, then here's your chance to read their very first book. As always, first books are different from their current writing style, but CONSTANT CRAVING shows why Harlequin bought this dynamic duo in the first place. You won't be sorry picking up a copy of CONSTANT CRAVING.

Adam and Eve had nothing on the sparks that fly between

Adam Grayson and Eva Burgess. Sparks that come as a surprise to Eva - after all, Adam isn't quite her type. The fact that he's not Eva's type, doesn't surprise Adam - in the geeky persona he's donned he's not much of anyone's type. But much to both of their surprise, Eva is drawn to Adam every bit as much as he is drawn to her. Sparks fly as they solve a mystery and find a passion that's too hot to handle. Tori Carrington's debut book Constant Craving, makes her new fans long for the next book, in what is sure to be a long career!

The reader is charmed by him, as is the feminine, Eva Burgess, who is too smart to fall for his ruse. This book keeps you turning the pages well into the night.Bravo to the new-comer, Tori Carrington. I, for one, look forward to the summer of '99 and the release of their second book for Harlequin.
