It's just like every other job.
Until it's not. When the risk is lives and love is it still worth it?
Ted Martin aka David Smith isn't new to the undercover life, so how did he mess this mission up so badly? Carrie... that's how.

Her spunky personality and dedication to the bar her grandparents left her is just what Ted doesn't need in his not-so-stable life. As the small town she calls home begins to stink of corruption and drugs, Ted shows up to play his part in removing it. Ted goes undercover as a solo musician looking for a band and gig.
A link to the drug trafficking ring in his much larger city sends him to Carrie's small town.
Carrie wants her quiet town back, and the mysterious new neighbor with the gravely voice that makes her body quake is a bonus she didn't see coming.
After all is said and done, will Ted be able to disappear and forget Carrie? Or will their newfound love force him to choose between his career and his heart?
Love Undercover is an MF romance set in the 1980's.
