Living Lies

In a world of espionage and deceit, Melanie Ward lives her life as a Secret Agent. She has tenaciously proved to be one of the top operatives for a clandestine division of the United States government. Recruited ten years ago after graduating from San Diego State University, Melanie distanced herself from family and friends, choosing instead to immerse herself into a new life.

When a justly earned promotion is snatched away by her nemesis, the arrogant and smug Finn Parker, Melanie recklessly walks away from the Agency and everything she has become. Lost with nowhere else to go, Melanie crashes and burns on her parents’ old plaid couch. This is not your typical spy story. James Bond never had to suffer through a barrage of blind dates instigated by his “loving” mother with the help of his college roommates.

As Melanie struggles to repair broken relationships and heal old wounds, she realizes she belongs in her secret world of lies. But then there’s Adam…
