Echo Location — Frances Pauli

Stevie Roth gave up a chance at inter-dimensional adventure and settled for a life in the ordinary world. She almost convinced herself she made the right decision too, until Weldon Marks, out-of-this-world goofball and totally delicious dufus, shows up and reminds her exactly what she left behind. When he whisks her off on a job, Stevie couldn't be happier. Except he vanishes again just as quickly, and his unpleasant parallel pops up to stalk her instead. Now she's back up to her neck in the insanity, and remembering quite clearly why she left. Weldon is acting cagey, his clone won't leave her alone, and the invisible man is leading an investigation that seems hell-bent on spoiling any chance she has at keeping the one idiot she wants in her life for good. Her world's turned completely upside down, her favorite snake has gone missing, and Stevie's pretty sure the beat up box Weldon stashed in her living room hides something seriously illegal. If it does, she's going to strangle him. If he doesn't get himself killed first, that is.
