"After watching her parents’ marriage crash and burn,
CIA operative Talia Reynolds doesn’t believe in “happily ever afters.” Besides,
her job entails eighty-hour weeks, juggling a dozen covers and disguises, and
tracking down a dangerous Russian spy ring. She hardly has time for romantic
entanglements, even if she could let her guard down enough to get close to
anyone. But all the rules she lives by could be broken when she meets aerospace
engineer Danny Fluker.
Danny moved to Canada for a great job — and a chance to
start over after a bad breakup. Dating definitely isn’t in his plans . . .
until beautiful and enigmatic Talia throws a perfect storm right in his flight
path. When he catches a glimpse of the real woman behind her façade, he has to
get to know her better.
Talia has to find a Russian spymaster before he figures out
she’s not who she claims, and failing to keep her two lives separate in the
process could mean the death of more than just her budding relationship. Danny
has to decide if a future with Talia — and facing the past — is worth the risk
of getting hurt again. If they can break through the barriers keeping them
apart (and avoid a major international catastrophe), they just might have a
chance at being happy together."

10 Fun Facts About Me
1. I've cached disguises, made dead drops, evaded surveillance and
completed other spy missions in a large city. To research for my spy books, I
took a spy escape and evasion class from a former CIA officer, and this was
part of it!
2. I know Spanish and American Sign Language, and have picked up a few
phrases in Russian and Irish (Gaelic) for story research.
3. I was born and raised in the South. I have strong opinions about
barbecue and cornbread.
4. For one of my current works in progress, I took a research trip to
LA, tried rock climbing, and hiked to the top of an 11,750-foot mountain.
(These were all separate events!)
5. I have five children, ages twelve and under. I don't find time to
write; I sacrifice other things to make the time.
6. As a child, I performed with the National Opera Company in La Boheme
and The Magic Flute . . . as a nonsinging child in crowd scenes.
7. When I was fifteen, I went to Ottawa with my dad on a business trip.
We stayed at the Château Laurier, which features in a few of the books in the
Spy Another Day series.
8. My husband and I went to New Zealand on our honeymoon because his
parents were serving as missionaries there . . . and I hadn't met them yet.
9. Four of my five children were born before their due dates. The one
laggard waited two days past hers so she could arrive on my birthday.
10. On the rare occasions I'm not with my family or writing, I like to
read, knit, or play the piano, flute, guitar or ukulele.
