Lieutenant Karin Scott had always steered way clear of men like TJ Vasquez— playboys who assumed their sexy looks would get them an open invitation to her bedroom. But she was a navy doctor with a serious problem— lethal drugs were disappearing from her hospital— and DEA agent TJ Vasquez was the only person she could trust. Their undercover mission landed them in close quarters, and before she knew it, Karin was under the covers with TJ!

From the Author
The long-awaited sequel to former US Naval officer Candace Irvin's debut Silhouette Intimate Moments, FOR HIS EYES ONLY, is finally here! IN CLOSE QUARTERS is another military romantic suspense set in San Diego, California. It is the story of US Navy doctor Lieutenant Karin Scott and Special Agent Tomás Juan Vásquez (DEA). From the moment Karin met TJ, she had him pegged for a footloose and fancy-free womanizer. Planning their best friends' wedding didn't improve her impression, either. Unfortunately, when Karin stumbles across a prescription narcotics racket at the San Diego Naval Medical Center that appears to be connected to the deaths of several local teenagers, Karin has no where else to turn. With her friends on their belated honeymoon, Karin is forced to put her trust in TJ's hands. Will she be able to figure out TJ is holding her heart as well before it's too late?
Reviews for IN CLOSE QUARTERS:
"This terrific SIM really delivers with a dynamite plot and explosive chemistry between a reticent debutante Navy doctor and a reformed Hispanic Don Juan DEA agent as they're forced to work together to disband a prescription narcotics racket. If sexy well-written series romance is for you, Candace Irvin is an author not to be missed!" --Patricia Rouse, Romantic Times Columnist
"Another roller coaster ride from Candace Irvin."--Award-winning and best-selling author Suzanne Brockmann.
"A wonderfully complex plot!" --Romantic Times Magazine

Passionate, intriguing, heart stopping: do any of these words capture your attention? If so, I invite you to savor the opportunity to experience Candace Irwin's IN CLOSE QUARTERS. Through an anonymous note, Navy Doctor, Lieutenant Karin Scott learns of missing drugs. Further investigation reveals the mysterious note is not a hoax, but a major clue to a lethal narcotics operation, which is taking place at the San Diego Navel Hospital. Fearing this knowledge could endanger her life and career, she contacts a close friend who works for the DEA. She is stunned to learn her friend is off on his honeymoon and sent Special Agent T.J. Vasquez in his absence. Six months has past since her last encounter with T.J., who at one time she hoped to form a relationship. Learning the truth of T.J.'s reputation, as a well-known playboy and a womanizer, she abruptly ends her pursuit before it had a chance to develop. Now she must entrust her life to this fearless warrior, but is it her heart that risks the most endangerment? Special Agent Tomas Juan `T.J.' Vasquez has counted the days since he last saw Karin Scott. Karin's absence left a hole in his heart, which refuses to be filled. When he learns she is in grave danger, he rushes to her side to provide the protection she needs. Soon they discover their dangerous undercover mission is bound to land them in close quarters, will Karin be able to resist the urge to go under the covers with T.J.? Candace Irwin has developed a fast paced novel, which will be a forceful rival against any of the best writers in military romances. She has created two dynamic characters, as well as a gripping tale full of tension and suspense, and added just enough passion to leave one breathless!

TJ Vasquez is extremely SEXY!! And instantly attracted to USN Dr. Karin Scott when he 'met' her aboard a Navy ship. TJ is a DEA agent and his help is needed when Karin discovers drugs are missing at the hospital. She reluctantly seeks his help but refuses to let herself give in to him or the passion brewing between them. But TJ is determined to have the woman he loves. I love foreign heroes! And the fact that this hero was so true to his heritage through out the story was very satisfying for me. This story has it all....an interesting plot, HOT steamy sexual tension & a beautiful romantic completion. FANTASTIC!! Looking forward to more books by this talented new author!

I couldn't put this book down. I have been waiting it seems forever to read the second book continuing with some of the dynamite characters in Ms. Irvin's first book with Reese and Jade. Now it's time for Jade's friend, Doctor Karin Scott, and Reese's partner in the DEA, TJ Vasquez, to have their story told. Wow! It's hot and delicious and keeps you in suspense right up until the very last page.Lieutenant Karin Scott had been about to make a commitment to the devastatingly handsome TJ Vasquez when something happened to change it all. Her ship left and now she's back after six months at sea. However, she has a serious problem since she received a note saying that drugs have been walking. She is not sure whom to turn to and leaves a message for Reese, but TJ turns up instead. Before long their undercover mission is placing them in too close quarters. This is one guy I wouldn't mind being in close quarters with either, and my guess is that the sexual tension created between this pair will keep you glued to the pages. He's the Mexican version of Indiana Jones and just as exciting! There are a lot of twists and turns in this one, and in addition, their lives are at risk, as the drug thieves won't think twice at murdering them. Hang on tight as it gets quite rocky. <Grin> Suzanne "I'd Love to be Riding With TJ on His Motorcycle as well as Doing a few Other Things!" Coleburn "Ms. Irvin's writing is right and tight and whisks you away on a wild ride with some knockout characters that are quite electrifying In Close Quarters! You'll be crying if you miss this one, and you can say I told you so." --Suzanne Coleburn, The Belles and Beaux of Romance
