The Alias Agenda - Paperback

by Holly James (Author)

In this modern blend of heisty hijinks, romantic tension, and madcap mystery for fans of Ally Carter, Catherine Mack, The White Lotus and Oceans Eleven, an undercover operative with a rookie handler who's as hot as he is blundering must infiltrate a suburban mom smuggling ring while dodging a killer from her past...

She's had dozens of identities--but none of them have ever fallen in love.

In this action-packed thrill-ride of suspense, humor, and heartfelt romance, an undercover informant and an out-of-practice field agent delve deep into an investigation and become entangled with a most unlikely band of criminals, a ruthless killer--and hopefully, each other, if they can survive long enough . . .

When confidential informant Erin Daniels is abruptly pulled off an insider trading investigation and sent across the country with just a few hours' notice, she's definitely not expecting her new assignment to involve infiltrating a smuggling ring in a . . . suburban mommy group? She's also not expecting to meet a clumsy field agent who is hot as hell--or to hear that the man who handled her assignments for the last 10 years is dead.
Erin's spent the last decade as a secret operative for the intelligence agency that arrested her con artist father--and ostensibly is keeping her safe from retribution. With her former handler the only constant in a life spent on the move, inserting herself into dangerous situations, Erin has to adjust to newcomer Cal Bray, and his sometimes-blundering attempts to protect her--all while trying to deny her growing attraction to him.

But before they can get too far into the mommy ring, a vengeful figure from Erin's past reappears, bent on killing her--and coming uncomfortably close. Drawing on her years of experience and Cal's best instincts, Erin is determined to exorcize her ghosts for good, and find out what a real life, on her own, is like--and if Cal is willing to lend a hand . . .
