Isadora needs an outsider.

Serri needs an escape.

They both need each other. They just don’t know it yet.

 

With a traitor in her department and one agent already dead, enigmatic Intelligence Chief Dr Isadora Kensington is a woman in trouble. Isolated and under fire, she’s about to put all her trust in a rookie agent. Will the biggest gamble of her life pay off?

 

American heiress, Serafina de’Angelo, is charming, naive and desperate to escape an arranged marriage. Anxious to explore her hidden attraction to women, she jumps at the chance to cross the Atlantic to help a stranger.

 

She expected adventure but Isadora’s world of seductive shadows demands far more. From the harsh training grounds of Churchill’s Secret Army to the rugged shores of Mussolini’s Sicily, Serafina learns the harshest of lessons. The currency of betrayal is blood.

 

As the lines between mission and mentor blur, as the attraction between Serafina and Isadora burns, the traitor’s trap snaps shut. Forced to confront the unthinkable, Serafina must prove she has the grit to unmask a killer. Because in Isadora’s world, every choice comes with a price—and this time, the cost of failure is the life of the woman Serafina loves.
