About this ebook
“Perfect Elizabeth Little—fun but deep, slick but meaty, suspenseful and satisfying . . . totally recommended.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series
A gripping, emotionally charged thriller with an unforgettable heroine from the acclaimed author of Dear Daughter . . .
“My name’s Juno Hardwick—and I’m here to save your life.”
Juno Hardwick’s a fighter—or at least she thought she was. A year ago, she had a promising career influencing national security policy at the highest levels. Then her father died and her life fell apart. Now she's in Los Angeles, rotting on the couch with her sister during the day, working as a bouncer at a bikini bar at night.
So when her best friend Min, a former CIA officer, invites her to join a high-profile security detail, Juno sees a way back to the person she used to be. It's a straightforward job: protect an investigative journalist whose exposés have made her powerful enemies, get her safely through a glittering museum gala, collect a paycheck. Mission accomplished.
But from the moment Juno meets her new team—an enigmatic ex-SEAL, a brilliant engineer, a failed actress, a retired FBI agent who hates her guts—something feels off. They're underprepared and out of sync, and the client, who made a career out of exposing other people's secrets, clearly has a few of her own. Meanwhile, Min's playing a deeper game than she's letting on, treating Juno less like one of the players and more like one of the pawns.
As the gala approaches, Juno finds herself fighting on two fronts, and while she’s used to dealing with enemies on the battlefield, she’s not prepared for traitors in her midst. In a world where everyone has something to hide—including herself—Juno is forced to consider the possibility that loyalty might be the deadliest weapon of all.
