The Double Recall 1
The Forgetful Spy
Life is a series of choices.
Faltering Protocol agent, Rachel Miles, can’t afford to bungle another mission, but her growing desire for Colin may ruin her well-laid plans. Choosing between doing her job the way her boss wants it
done or giving in to her overwhelming attraction for a man she barely knows, she selects Colin.
Laurie Peterson’s life is comfortable, quiet and pleasantly boring until she meets an exciting, gorgeous stranger who won’t take no for an answer. Should she risk her comfortable life and risk hurting the
aunt who gave up everything to take care of her for a man she’s just met?
Undercover agent, Colin Riley, loves two very different women. Rachel, outrageous, sensual and mysterious, who saves him from a murderous Colombian drug lord. And Laurie, the sweet librarian whose gentle innocence makes him yearn for a life he can't have.
How can he choose between them?
Especially once he realizes they’re the same woman.

5 Flags: "Funny,
sexy, and way out there! This book is true
Lara! It rocks! Colin is a hot sexy spy
and Rachel/Laurie is the perfect heroine.
When I started it I couldn’t put it down!

4 Ribbons:
"I can honestly say this book intrigued me from the blurb
alone. Mostly used to reading novels where the hero always plays a double role,
this is a refreshing change from the norm. Laurie has an alter ego that's hotter
than hot and definitely dangerous. The reader gets to see both sides of the
woman she is and embraces both characters. Colin is the hero completely in the
dark about the two women that he loves and tortured to choose which one he wants
to spend his life with. There is a sensitive and caring relationship with Laurie
and an intense inferno with Rachel. Watching him teeter between the two is a
blast and the ending is very satisfying."

4 Stars:
"The Forgetful Spy was a great deal of fun.
Although it was a spy story, the premise involved two couples: Colin and Rachel,
and Colin and Laurie. Both relationships were entirely separate, but Colin was
confused about both of them. They have amazingly hot relationships and I enjoyed
each one. I learned an important fact near the beginning of the book and kept
waiting for Colin to figure it out. A smart man, I was cheering him on, hoping
he’d put two and two together. As Colin spent time with Rachel and different
time with Laurie, the plot became more and more interesting. Major characters
were extremely well-written. This is my first book
by Ms. Santiago and I'm quite sure that I will read more."
—Marcy Arbitman, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4 Cups:
"The Forgetful Spy is one cool suspenseful read.
Watching the interaction between Laurie then Rachel is remarkable as it all
unravels. The plot with that certain twist at the end is just the right touch in
making this story very creative. I enjoyed the scenes with Colin when he was
with Rachel then Laurie. His reactions are so genuine, and I could almost see
his expressions. Lara Santiago goes all out to craft a mind-blowing read with
many secondary characters that keep the reader thoroughly entertained."

EXCERPT
“Help me get free. And I promise I’ll make it
worth your while.”
“Why are you tied up?”
He exhaled a deep breath. “It’s a long story.”
He turned his head and glanced at the door. “Is the door
locked?”
Rachel nodded. She checked her bracelet watch again
surprised that only four minutes had passed since she’d
entered the room.
“Would you mind putting that chair under the door
handle? I don’t want us to be interrupted.”
She crossed the room and secured the ladder-backed
chair under the door handle checking to reassure herself it was
indeed locked.
Rachel spied the open closet door and her chest
tightened with anger. She had a mission. What was she doing? She
shook her head and abandoned her foolish plan for a quickie with
this stranger. Her task to escape took precedence over her
ardent libido. She crossed the room, focused only on the closet
door and tuned out his repeated and now very urgent attempts at
conversation.
The built-in shoe rack made a perfect ladder for her
to climb and open the attic access panel. She readied her escape
path for egress, ignoring his whispered pleas along with her own
blatantly inappropriate desires in the process.
“Fuck. What do I have to do? Take me with you.
Please.”
The Please penetrated her trance. The attic
access door was open and ready for her to climb through. Rachel
shimmied back down the shoe rack and turned toward the bed.
Her hands pressed to her hips. “What do you want me
to do?”
“Help me get loose.” He scanned her body pausing
at her breasts for several seconds. “I’ll do anything.”
A wicked thought occurred to her and a grin flashed
before she could stop it. “Anything?” she asked
suggestively.
“Yes.”
“What did you do to warrant being tied down? I know
you said it was a long story,” she glanced at her watch and
smiled. “You have thirty seconds to explain it to me.”
Taking
a deep breath, he shook his head slightly. “If I only had
thirty seconds, then I’d plead my case. I must get free.”
His eyes bored through her. “I have to meet someone tonight.
Life or death.”
“You’re not meeting the man who left you here?”
“No.” He tugged at the restraints. The metal of
the handcuffs clanked against the headboard. “Someone else.”
She pondered his short explanation and stared at him.
The bulge below his fly had increased to an impressive ridge.
Her core tightened in unquenched desire. Her gaze traveled to
his legs and the powerful thighs encased in denim. The fabric
stretched molding to his muscular flesh as he pulled at the
ropes binding his ankles.
“See anything you want?”
She shot a quick gaze to his face and his sardonic
smile greeted her.
“Yes, as a matter of fact.”
His eyes narrowed as if in disbelief of her
affirmative answer and what it implied. After a few seconds, a
smile again shaped his mouth. “Do I know you from
somewhere?”
“If that’s a line, trust me, you don’t need
it.” Rachel was about to implode with an unrelenting thirst
for sex. She kicked off her stilettos and leaned closer to the
bed.
“Did you come into the compound tonight with the
other girls for…um…dates?”
“I came in with them, but not to get a date.” She
hiked her dress up around her thighs and put a knee on the bed.
He pushed out a breath as if surprised.
“What did
you come for?”
“That’s a secret.”
“I can keep a secret.” His eyes widened and shone
with something akin to trustworthiness. She silently applauded
his effort. His expression was very sincere, but she wasn’t
telling him why she was here.
“I’m sure you can. But I’m still not going to
tell you.” The light of hope died in his eyes. “Let me take
a look at your handcuffs at least. I don’t have a key on me,
but maybe…” she trailed off, climbed up on the bed resting
on all fours.
Crawling over him to get a better look at his bonds,
she had straddled his warm body before prudence prevented her
from touching him. The second her body came into contact with
his, she had to take a calming breath and resist the urge to
lower her breasts into his face. He lifted his head twisting to
watch her as she studied the handcuffs.
“I have lock picks, but it’ll take a minute or
two.”
“I’d be so grateful.” The whisper of his words
caressed her and the intimate position of her body covering him
seeped through.
She retreated turning to see his intense focus. “Oh
yeah. How grateful?”
He laughed. “So grateful you’d scream ‘you’re
welcome’ by the time I’d finished thanking you.”
She slid down his body until her mouth was lined up
with his. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers making
the first contact.
Magic.
Rachel put her hands on his face, slanted her mouth
over his and sucked his tongue into her mouth. He moaned, which
unleashed a torrential amount of fluid from her lower half. Her
clit pulsed with desire as their hungry tongues collided.
She pressed her hips forward and the ridge of his cock
throbbed against her pubic bone. Shifting to line up her lower
half with his a little better, she prepared to scratch her itch
against his growing erection.
With the next push of her hips, he responded in kind.
She ground her crotch against him trying to hit the most
sensitive spot but couldn’t quite hit the place she needed for
gratification. She broke the kiss panting and studied his
restraints again.
“Let me taste you.”
“What?”
His gaze fell to her breasts. “Lower the strap of
your dress.”
The sexy suggestion sent a punch of lust to her
midsection. In slow motion to make the anticipation last, Rachel
pulled the strap down exposing her breast with the visibly
peaked nipple. Carefully she guided the distended tip to his
mouth. He latched on with such forceful gusto, she almost came
from the power of the suction he exerted. Instead, she moaned
out loud and relaxed.
After sucking on her for several heart pounding
moments, he stopped the wicked pleasure long enough to whisper,
“Now the other one.”
Rachel hesitated until he asked, “Please?”
She lowered the other strap pushing her second breast
to his waiting lips. The tug of sensation from his teeth grazing
the tip sent a pulse from nipple to clit. Her pussy clenched
with uncontrollable need.
“Ohmigod,” she whispered unable to withdraw. She
was out of her mind and lost in the electrifying pleasure
marching through her body.
The luscious suction stopped.
“Take the cuffs off. I’ll make you come.”
The word ‘come’ from his passionately uttered
statement nearly brought the release she sought.
She eyed the handcuffs again.
He licked his lips and sent his gaze down her body to
where she rested. Her dress was bunched up around her thighs
where her open legs straddled across his midsection. His jeans
enclosed hard cock rested against her pussy lips.
“Or you could slip your panties off, straddle my
face and I’ll just lick you.”
The words ‘I’ll just lick you’ reverberated
through her body like the vibration from a giant gong banged
with a sledge hammer.
“I’m not wearing any panties.” Her whispered
confession sent another violent wave of desire pulsing through
her veins.
His pupils widened. “Show me.”
