Valerie Tate has spent ten quiet years as a dental hygienist in Dallas — no husband, no drama, just coffee, patients, and Friday drinks with her best friend. Then a stranger sits down in her chair, says four words, and Valerie’s ordinary life cracks open. She was an operative once. Trained, erased, and buried under a life built specifically to hide her. Now the agency that made her wants her back — and the man she just started falling for might be the one person who can tell her who she really is, if the people hunting them both don’t find her first.
