The Spy Who Lied to Her First Love: A Romantic Espionage Thriller of Secret Identities, a Stolen Bioweapon, and a Love She Cannot Protect

Lily Hastings manages guest experiences at a luxury hotel.

Alexis Cole steals bioweapons for the C I A.

They are the same woman—and no one in Lily’s life can ever know.

Alexis has spent five years protecting her best friend Paige through distance, excuses, and an identity designed to survive enemies connected to her father’s murder.

Then Paige’s older brother joins the Agency.

Scott Song was Alexis’s first crush, her safest childhood refuge, and the one person she could never convincingly deceive. Now he is sitting beside her desk, learning that Lily’s entire career was a cover and that his sister still knows nothing.

Scott wants the truth.

Alexis has orders to keep the most dangerous part classified.

Before they can decide whether trust is still possible, Alexis and her operational partner Jake are sent to Milan. A rogue scientist has hidden a neurotoxin sample inside a painting and plans to sell the formula to the highest bidder.

The mission moves from a midnight auction-house break-in to a vineyard wedding in Geneva, an illegal weapons auction, and a warehouse filled with stolen art.

Alexis must pose as Jake’s devoted wife while Scott watches through the cameras.

She must confront a Russian operative tied to the enemy who destroyed her family.
