His mission. Her quest. A marriage their hearts don’t know is real. The first time Nathan Walker saw Amanda Simmons, he knew he was in trouble. Then he dug into her history—as one does when one has POTUS on speed dial—and what he found was ugly. A woman with ties like hers could make him vulnerable, and he’ll never put himself in that position again. When POTUS hands him the eyes-only folder for a mission to take down a Russian human trafficker, sapphire eyes that have haunted his dreams stare back. And his stomach spins faster than a tornado. Amanda’s still paying for her biggest mistake—falling for the son of a Russian mob boss, who took their son and vanished. She’s been working her fingers to the bone to pay a PI to find the boy, but she’s out of money and out of options. Until Nathan comes to her with a proposition. She’s just not sure she can stomach the price. Working together, they could save hundreds of women and find Amanda’s son. But to get inside, there’s no faking it. They’ll have to get married. For real. And hope like hell their hearts don’t fall for the ploy.
