Cybil Langford has spent years hiding behind her polished, professional facade as the executive assistant to a powerful real estate mogul, where she's perfectly positioned to collect intel on her boss's criminal network. But when her mission leads her into the path of Lorenzo Ramirez--a ruthless crime boss with deadly plans--she'll need every ounce of cunning and charm to stay one step ahead.
Then he walks back into her life.
Ben Bradley is deep undercover for the FBI, living under an alias, as a financial advisor with a reputation for helping the wealthy and corrupt launder their money. His target? Lorenzo Ramirez, a dangerous crime boss with his hands in everything from smuggling to murder. But when a familiar face from his past suddenly reappears, things get . . . complicated.
The last time Cybil saw Ben, he was an annoying prankster--and her first crush. The last time Ben saw Cybil, she stole a piece of his heart. Neither expected to run into each other at a high-stakes fundraising gala where crime, corruption, and undercover agendas collide.
Forced to work dangerously close, neither knows the other's true agenda. Cybil sees the boy who once broke her heart, now a man whose motives are deeply suspect. Ben sees the woman he never got over but can't determine if she's an innocent caught in the crossfire or a willing accomplice. As they navigate a world of spies, lies, and fragile alibis, they must dismantle the walls around their hearts.
The intel is classified. The trust is fragile. And their covers are one lie away from blowing wide open.

Thank you to Thomas Nelson Fiction and NetGalley for this ALC in exchange for an honest review! ——— ”You’d be amazed what I can accomplish when I am ticked off!” This was a very enjoyable, action-packed read. I listened to this as an audiobook and I think the voice actors did a phenomenal job with their respective characters. In spite of the seriousness of our main characters’ missions, Cybil and Ben are hopeless when it comes to one another. They’re somehow both attuned to each other, yet clueless. With a spy story, it makes sense why certain things couldn’t be discussed and their past made it difficult to trust one another, but the tension! The suspense! Also, the side plot involving Ben’s grandma is absolutely hilarious. She’s so meddlesome! The pacing is excellent. We never dwell in one place for too long, and the dialogue drives the plot instead of dragging it. As I neared the end, I was on the edge of my seat and shocked by the events unfolding—one in particular, without giving spoilers. While I’m normally picky about pop culture references sprinkled into fiction, I thought they worked well here and added to the reading experience rather than appearing as “trendy” or “relatable”. One instance even made me chuckle aloud. This is the first book I’ve read by Natalie Walters and I would definitely consider reading more from her. This was fun.

If the miscommunication/misunderstanding feel is not your thing, this isn’t for you. However, this was such a fun listen. With Andrew Eiden and Dominique Salvacion narrating, the story was given plenty of life and entertainment along the way. Ben and Cybil’s present lives being entangled in a web of crime, corruption and lies, with their history playing a part makes for a very fun plot with plenty at risk. It did take me a bit to get into the story properly because the misunderstanding thing isn’t my favourite, but the intrigue was there and it kept me going enough to override any wariness I had. Cybil’s past playing into her present day so heavily felt so relatable (undercover work aside), her love of chocolate particularly so 😂 Ben was intriguing from the start, and I loved seeing him think about Cybil and their past relationship. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
