"He is the Indiana Jones of the art world"

Duncan Forbes is well known in the art world for retrieving lost or stolen art, much to the disappointment of his larcenous family. When Duncan is informed that a Van Gogh masterpiece, smuggled out of France just before the German invasion, may be in a small town in Oregon, he doesn't hesitate to go to Swiftcurrent to look up Franklin Forrest in the hopes of taking the painting back where it belongs.

When Duncan arrives he is disappointed to find out that Franklin is dead, but things look up when he looks under the dress of the town's sexy librarian, the granddaughter of the late Franklin Forrest.

Alex is taken by surprise when she sees the good looking stranger looking up her dress, but she gets an even bigger suprise the next day when she finds a dead body in her library.

Duncan Forbes is sin personified, but will Alex be able to fight the immense attraction she feels?

DRIVE ME CRAZY by Nancy Warren takes you on a romantic adventure as Duncan and Alex race to look for the painting before the madman who is also looking for the Van Gogh. Alex also has to deal with her troubled cousin Gillian who is not as weak willed as she thinks.

Because of past mistakes, Gillian must convince her cousin and the rest of the town that she has cleaned up her act. Will they believe her or will her ex convince everyone that she is still on the path of destruction?

I loved DRIVE ME CRAZY! From the sexy pairing of Duncan and Alex to the sweet and touching reunion of teenage lovers, you will not want to stop reading DRIVE ME CRAZY until the last page.

Summary

Can't a guy look up a woman's skirt...

...without losing part of his anatomy? It isn't my fault the town librarian, aka Miss Alex Forrest, likes to perch on high heels and tall ladders for a guy's maximum viewing pleasure. The lady's bod and choice of outfit may be muy caliente, but the gaze is icy. Freezing. Arctic-in-a- bikini cold. Give her time. She'll come around to the old Duncan Forbes charm. And once I have that Alex in bed, she'll tell me everything I need to know about this town and its link to the lost painting my employers paid me to find...

I'd rather eat drain cleaner...

...than spend one more minute with that smug, big-city art professor, Duncan Forbes. The "Indiana Jones of the Art World"? Please. He couldn't find the Architecture stack till I pointed it out. And if I grabbed hold of his well- toned arm, it's not because he happens to be the sexiest man ever to destroy my Dewey Decimal System, it's because I'm not used to finding a dead body in my library and a girl can be excused a weak moment...

In the town of Swiftcurrent, Oregon, things are heating up. Dead bodies and missing masterpieces, family secrets and dangerous threats, a man who likes to feel his way around a problem and a woman who enjoys being the problem...it's all adding up to the kind of steamy sleuthing that just may lead them both beyond temptation and put their desires in drive...
