In the past, he was paid to protect me. Now, he's being paid to marry me.

My first operation in the field, the marriage is a cover. Damian Fisher is a CIA legend with a shaggy beard, chocolate curls, and deep blue eyes. As a teen, my girlfriends swooned in his presence. I never expected to work with him as an equal. I'd bet he never expected it either.

But my overprotective father is a powerful man and I wouldn't put it past him to pull a stunt like this to protect his baby girl. Requesting my old bodyguard and his close friend to work by my side is right down Daddy Dearest's alley.

But I no longer need protection. I worked hard to overcome the effects of the abduction. Someone played me like a pawn on a chessboard, and I'm dedicating my career to unveiling the players calling the shots.

Only lines blur when our relationship becomes all too real. Secrets from my past unfurl. Chaos erupts. In the end, it's not just our mission on the line. It's also our hearts and lives.

What am I willing to sacrifice to unravel the past and stay true to my mission?
