Evie Porter is not looking for trouble. But trouble has found her...
At a party with her fiance, Evie is approached by a woman. She's using Evie's name. And Evie knows it's a warning.
Because Evie Porter is not her real name. It's her job.
The man she's with is not her future husband. He's her target.
And this woman showing up now can only mean one thing. One mistake and she's dead.
To save herself and escape her employer for good, Evie must set the last perfect trap.
Which means using herself as bait...
