Madison West appears on Peter Quincy’s doorstep as expected, when her husband, Charlie, disappears. Peter had been her husband’s best man and had promised to take care of Madison if something happened to him. Neither Madison nor Peter are what they seem, but will their lies to each other to save the world, instead fail to save them from each other?
He pushed non-existent glasses up his nose,

“But

rushed into the room. Her momentum would have knocked down a smaller man.
“Oh,
thank you.”
She
glanced over her shoulder at the closed and locked door.
“Sit.
What’s wrong?”

was just the gadget guy. His days of cloak and dagger were long gone. And those
days hadn’t ended well.
That's
when he realized who she was. A flood of feelings he'd thought long dead washed
over him. Madison. Why here? Why now? Why
her?
