A Thin Disguise

by Catherine Bybee

Overview

A former gun for hire and a federal agent find themselves on the right side of love but the wrong end of a bullet in this Richter installment from New York Times bestselling author Catherine Bybee.

On a fateful night in Las Vegas, FBI agent Leo Grant is working on a critical detail in a high-profile child prostitution trial when a beautiful woman jumps into the path of a bullet meant for him. Little does Leo know that the woman is Olivia, an ex-assassin who is seeking redemption one good deed at a time.

One minute, Olivia is lunging in front of Leo on the Vegas Strip. The next, she’s waking up in the hospital in a haze of pain with no memory of her past, her enemies, or even her own name.

With Olivia suffering from memory loss and completely unaware of the danger she is in, it’s up to Leo and Neil MacBain’s team of operatives to keep her safe. With Olivia and Leo both unaware of her past crimes, the two have little reason to avoid their growing attraction. Slowly her past seeps in through the cracks as she struggles to find the answers of who she is. When the veil is lifted and her dark past is staring her down, Olivia must turn her back on Leo and the love she can never allow herself to have, and race to find her would-be killer.

Editorial Reviews

An amnesiac assassin and an FBI agent land in protective custody in Bybee’s thrilling second Richter romance (after Changing the Rules). When assassin Olivia steps in front of a bullet aimed at FBI agent Leo Grant on the Las Vegas Strip, the injury results in her losing her memory. Both Olivia and Leo are in danger from a mob boss who’s currently standing trial, so it’s unclear which of them was the attack’s true target. Enter MacBain Security, an elite private team for whom Olivia has worked freelance in the past and who convince her and Leo that they’ll be safest in MacBain’s protective custody. The company is eager to make Olivia a permanent part of the team and seizes the opportunity of her memory loss to show her, with help from the smitten Leo, the new life she could have if she no longer worked alone. But as Olivia’s memories of her cruel, unusual upbringing creep back in, her guilt and belief that she is unworthy of love prove difficult to overcome. Bybee delivers plenty of twists and turns on the way to a shocking ending while keeping forgiveness, love, and redemption at the story’s heart. The result is an emotional page-turner. Agent, Jane Dystel, Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. (July)
