Scandalous
Alina Michaels, Robin Smith

But the universe had other plans.
Now we’re stuck searching for a missing person, all while playing “hide the pickle” with the bad guy. I wish that wasn’t as crazy as it sounds, but our new archenemy really wants this ancient, ah, “marital aid” and he’s not above killing us to get it.
If there’s a silver lining here at all, it’s knowing that my adorably naughty wife will give me plenty of reasons to put her over my knee during this new adventure.
Maybe being forced out of retirement won’t be so bad, after all…
