From In A Fix by Linda Grimes. I am only a few pages in but so far I like the book.
From Goodreads:
"The
start of an original new urban fantasy series starring human chameleon Ciel
Halligan
Snagging
a marriage proposal for her client while on an all-expenses-paid vacation
should be a simple job for Ciel Halligan, aura adaptor extraordinaire. A kind
of human chameleon, she’s able to take on her clients’ appearances and slip
seamlessly into their lives, solving any sticky problems they don’t want to
deal with themselves. No fuss, no muss. Big paycheck.
This
particular assignment is pretty enjoyable... that is, until Ciel’s island
resort bungalow is blown to smithereens and her client’s about-to-be-fiancé is
snatched by modern-day Vikings. For some reason, Ciel begins to suspect that
getting the ring is going to be a tad more difficult than originally
anticipated.
Going
from romance to rescue requires some serious gear-shifting, as well as a little
backup. Her best friend, Billy, and Mark, the CIA agent she’s been crushing on
for years—both skilled adaptors—step in to help, but their priority is,
annoyingly, keeping her safe. Before long, Ciel is dedicating more energy to
escaping their watchful eyes than she is to saving her client’s intended.
Suddenly, facing down a horde of
Vikings feels like the least of her problems."

So confident!
My Teaser
Great teaser! Very intriguing. Here is my TT http://cynthiastacey.com/2014/03/04/teaser-tuesday-mar-4/
Sounds like a unique cast of characters. I've never heard of anyone with a career as a surrogate aura adaptor. Is that what you'd call Ciel?
My Teaser is from SPARE CHANGE.
I hope he lives up to his confidence. :-)
