In an action-packed and thrilling new standalone novel from the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author, a former government agent is drawn back into the world of covert ops for a very unconventional mission …

For Melanie Drake, school guidance counselor in a small Virginia town, the day’s challenges typically involve a playground scuffle or a student skipping school. It’s worlds away from her previous career as a vital part of the Office of Special Investigations. There, she devoted herself heart and soul to covert operations, the riskier the better.

Since leaving the government, Melanie has cherished her peaceful, calm existence, with her two beloved retired service dogs for company. Then a call comes from her former supervisor, Rich Patterson. He needs her back for a highly specialized assignment.

Only the most elegant, well-educated, and sophisticated women will do.

Infiltrating those meetings could yield information vital to national security. Melanie’s loyalty is indisputable. She’s willing to pose as an escort and glean every scrap of intel that she can. But these men aren’t just wealthy and powerful, they’re also exceptionally ruthless. One slip, and they won’t hesitate to eliminate Melanie, by any means necessary …

nice read

the story was read clearly and thought characters were defined .
I enjoyed the presentation

Enjoyed the Story

I live in the area where the story is set, so it peaked my interest. I liked it and it and think it’s worth the listen.

Right wing propaganda in disguise

All good until she decided to use the gender and furry identities propaganda as her story line.

All of it!

I LOVED this story! It’s such a fun book! So good. I will look for more from this author

Wild side

Was good but slow going for me. The concept of the story was very good!

This is a great book!!

I was hesitant about this book. I read some Fern Michaels books years ago and wasn’t that impressed. But this book is great. The main character is funny and very smart! I couldn’t stop listening.

Twice as long as it should’ve been!

If I had purchased this book, I would have returned it, but I listened to it when I didn’t really need to pay much attention.

Not my cup of tea

I expected more of a thriller than this, based on the details given. I thought the school portion was ridiculous and promoted unrealistic situations.

Great plots

Glad to hear she finally got with Gilmore. Their passion for each other kept the story mesmerizing. Also great reader.

Not Thriller & Suspense

The whole book seemed a bit silly to me - I kept waiting for something to happen. The story is about Mel's life from HS through her mid 30's. I enjoyed the book and felt it was well-narrated, but if you're looking for a thriller, this certainly isn't it.
