Why this must be read:

What would you do if the man you loved was killed in a convenience store mugging gone wrong--and his doppleganger showed up out of the blue? And what would you do if the man you loved seemed to be falling for a woman who, to you, only seemed interested in him because of his appearance?

When the ghost of Simon Donovan in the form of Special Agent Jethro Gibbs shows up in CJ Cregg's life, she's not sure what to do. Slowly, she begins to fall for him, and he for her. There are just a few problems: Tony's in love with Gibbs; Danny's in love with CJ, and Gibbs fitting in with CJ's world is not necessarily something that's going to happen smoothly, if at all. Nancy's interactions between the West Wing crew and the NCIS bunch are spot on, the story keeps you intrigued and makes you go "awww" at all the right moments, and you don't have to know much about either fandom to follow the story (although it'll just make you appreciate it all the more). Angst, humor, and hot sex--what more could you ask for?

When CJ entered his office, Toby was going to make some kind of smart remark about an acting career that he hadn’t known about. One look at her face, however, and the words dried up. On his feet in an instant, Toby walked over to her at the sofa and asked softly, “What happened?”

Clearly dazed, CJ replied, “Simon’s ghost is haunting the lobby in the form of an NCIS agent.”

Toby blinked in surprised. “Excuse me?”

“I’m just going to…lie down for a while,” CJ replied, doing just that. “Wake me when I’m sane again.”

Nonplussed, he stared at her a few more seconds before leaving his office for Sam’s, careful to close his door so that CJ wouldn’t be disturbed. Rapping sharply on Sam’s door, he walked in without waiting for an answer and motioned impatiently for the younger man to get off the phone.

“I’m sorry, Senator…yes, yes I understand. If I could just call you first thing in the morning? Thank you, I really appreciate it,” Sam said, hanging up. “What’s up?”

“CJ said that Simon Donovan’s ghost is haunting the lobby. Would you go check that out while I keep an eye on her?”

Sam blinked at him in surprise. “Excuse me?”

“That’s what I said. Go check it out?”

“Yeah. I think I should.”

Nice rec, and what a good story, too! The author really has a great ear for dialogue -- she nailed every character's voice perfectly. What an enjoyable read!
