発行者による作品情報
Right place. Wrong person. After a case of mistaken identity, one woman must work with her sister’s sexy spy partner to save the world in this heart-pounding romantic comedy.
The first thing to know about Dove Barkley is that, even though she works as a cyber security analyst, she is one hundred percent not an undercover CIA operative. But when a group of bad guys mistake her for her super-spy sister (news to her!), Dove gets roped into a dangerous government mission that she’d very much rather be left out of, thank you.
Too bad Mendez, the man who claims to be her sister’s partner, says she's in too deep to back out now. He’s smart, capable, and has a body almost distracting enough to make Dove forget about the team of trained assassins after her.
Dove has information that can help prevent a national tragedy, but there’s mounting evidence that Mendez might not be who he claims. More importantly, she's running out of time to save her sister. Because the last thing Dove wants is for either of them to go out with a bang.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Smith's fast-paced and deliciously twisty debut kicks off with Dove Barkley heading to meet her twin sister, Madison, for dinner—only to be met instead by a mysterious man who speaks to her in code before being shot and killed at her restaurant table. Fortunately, a CIA operative named Mendez swoops in to help Dove make sense of the situation, revealing that Madison is a spy and Dove must have been mistaken for her. The CIA is in hot pursuit of a notorious international arms dealer, and Madison, whose identity appears to have been compromised, has gone into hiding. Now Dove's been thrown into the dangerous mix, and as the stakes ramp up, she falls hard for Mendez—but can she really trust him? Smith draws out that question on the way to a well-crafted and deeply satisfying conclusion. The bond between the sisters, who grew up in foster care, adds depth to the narrative and the plot offers plenty of surprises. Glimmers of humor leaven the suspense and the love story is just as likely to get hearts racing as the mystery. The end result is a first-rate romantic thriller.
