Kim Carmichael and her book Hands on Me.
About the Author:
Kim Carmichael began writing eight years ago when her love of happy endings inspired her to create her own. She has a weakness for bad boys and techno geeks, and married her own computer whiz after he proved he could keep all her gadgets running. When not writing, she can usually be found slathered in sunscreen trolling Los Angeles and helping top doctors build their practices.
Hands on Me Excerpt
"Stop!" A man yelled.
The barrel of another gun met her inches from her face. She
tensed, not from the gun, but from the familiar inflection in his voice. The
position of both their weapons hid the man's face.
"Get in and lower your gun, or we'll both lose."
"Back up and lower yours, or you won't have a hand
left." No one told her what to do, not ever again. The click of her
cocking her weapon echoed around them.
He stepped back. "Get in and close the door."
With her gun still raised, she stepped and waited for her
opponent to flinch first.
"Now." He moved a fraction of an inch.
She did the same, and with the silent acknowledgement they
would both comply, they lowered their guns in unison. She almost shot herself
in the foot at the sight of the man who greeted her. Before she made a mistake,
she de-cocked her gun and shook her head. "Colin?" Her body betrayed
her by trembling. Was this her punishment?
"Gwen." He shoved the gun in his waistband.
"You're the one. I would have never guessed."
Think. She screamed at herself to remember her training, and
not allow him to best her or distract her. She glanced around the room, giving
her time to not look at him. Agents were supposed to be everyday people and
blend in, but Colin Alexander stood out. From the moment she quite literally
fell into his lap through a two-story ceiling three years ago, she wasn't sure
why his agency chose such a standout. She supposed his combed-back black hair
and golden eyes were some bizarre form of female torture.

Agent Gwen Fredricks is a living target. Captured after a failed mission, the code to crack a safe has literally been permanently hidden on her. To free herself, she must retrieve a final key.
All Agent Colin Alexander has to do to avoid a desk job is get a code said to be on an enemy agent. He never dreamed it would actually be on the agent, especially Gwen.
The simple shoot-and-swoop mission takes a turn for these two sometime-lovers and full-time rivals when they call a truce to give into their desire. Now with the promise to keep both hands on each other at all times, they share a night together. Loyalties are tested when Gwen manages to swipe the key away, and Colin discovers the code carefully embedded into Gwen's tramp stamp tattoo in a glow of UV light. When morning comes they must decide if what they feel for each other is worth betraying their agencies.

My thoughts:
This is a super short story, only 17 pages. The story you get in those few pages is great. You get action from the go. I enjoyed the characters, but would love to know more. It is obvious that they have a past, and are hoping for a future, but we don't get a lot of details in this short piece. I like the writing style and loved the story. Can't wait to read more about these two characters.
