About this item

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. An international group of billionaires is known to meet regularly for decadent dinners, and they always hire high-class escorts for the occasion. 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 …

Have read and loved many books by Fern Michaels and this one did not disappoint. Fast paced, intrigue and yet endearing. Also seemed like it could be a true story.

A slow start, satisfying middle and predictable unrealistic end. Still an enjoyable read. The character development was slim and needed filling on overcoming trauma as well as better connection of more than her magic tricks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kind of lame
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024
Too much filler, not enough suspense. Or believable dialogue. The main character literally has no faults and the love interest is two-dimensional.

A well written story about a woman's life, that has a few interesting moments, but not gripping or suspenseful. Women's literature.
