Beyond the Iron Door

Ellen Grant leads a double, sometimes dangerous, life.

In her busy public life, she heads her late father's firm, Dale Grant Architects. Lately, her work has been featured in print, TV and social media. She is almost famous.

In her shadow life, Ellen is a spy for the CIA.

She is in Moscow to check on the progress of a building project she designed, and to meet with the American Ambassador for her next mission assignment. She hopes it will not interfere with the continuation of her affair with Russian Colonel Vladimir Ivanovich Morosov of the FSB, Russia's state security service and successor to the KGB.

Life is good, though sometimes lonely. Her cheating ex-husband is history, her mother, step-father, and half brother are in Witness Protection, and her best friend lives far away. Soon, she must honor a promise to disclose her secret life, and risk losing the person she depends on the most.

There may be a new love on the horizon. But, when you are in the public eye, and are also a spy, life can be uncertain.

What could happen?
