Grace O'Connor inherited more than good looks from her top spy father. She can outsmart most people, which explains why he calls her Trouble. Her summer internship at GNE in Washington starts innocently enough until she discovers the translation agency sends out "recorders" to gather and sell information. Grace soon finds herself chasing a list of corrupt politicians that every spy agency wants. Lance Mercy, a COS commando, arrives with two missions: extract a Chinese dissident who knows about stolen US weaponry and catch the mole in their ranks. Everything proceeds according to plan until Grace appears. Mercy has never encountered anyone like her. She seems too young for this business, yet she's neck deep in the operation. Between nuns on the run, mysterious Chinese phrases, double agents, and her dangerous father, Grace navigates a world of espionage games. For both Grace and Lance, falling in love creates the most dangerous mission of all.
