Keeping secrets is my job. Uncovering the truth is his.
Gracie
As a highly trained operative in a family of spies, I learned a a long time ago what happens when you fall in love and reveal your secrets. Devastation. Trusting no one is the only way to survive in this world. So, no matter how charming he is, Special Agent Leif McAllister won't convince me that he's left the FBI and wants to join my family's less than legal operations.
Dusty
Special Agent is my title and Leif McAllister is technically my name, but "Dusty" is what everyone calls me. Been told I can talk a stone to dust. That kind of verbal fortitude makes my job easier. People trust an open book. Even if it's filled with lies. Most people, anyway. Gracie Parish, my best way into her family's illegal activities, just won't trust me. No problem. I'll use everything I've got--fair, unfair, and so-good-it's-wrong--to penetrate her defenses, discover the truth, and prove my case.
As the red-hot attraction between Dusty and Gracie explodes, Dusty's investigation ignites a deadly threat and long hidden lies. They'll have to decide quickly how far they can trust each other, because now it's not just Gracie's family secrets in jeopardy. It's her life.
