Liam

She never spoke one word to the boy who watched her in high school. Now he is the only spy who can keep her alive.

Sherry Worthing buried her fiance two days ago and learned that he traded government secrets for a living. Someone tore her house apart. Someone stripped her car. The last advice he ever gave her was to trust no one, so she takes one bag, one Cane Corso named Joe, and the first flight out of Logan.

Liam Collins has two days left at the CIA before he walks away for good. Then his boss slides a file across the desk with Sherry's face in it. The girl he stared at through four years of high school. The girl he joined the school play to reach and never managed one word with. Langley wants her brought in for questioning. Liam wants her cleared.

He takes her in the Miami airport with a rag over her mouth, and she wakes on his family's jet certain he came to kill her. Then a copilot pulls a knife, an engine dies over Maine, and Liam cuts a tracking chip out of her leg with a pocketknife while men blow the door off his cabin.

By Valentine's Day, Sherry stops running. She sets the meeting herself, in her own library, and Liam has to stand back and let her walk in.

Tropes: protector hero, secret agent identity revealed, forced proximity in a panic room and on a yacht, small town librarian heroine, the boy who never spoke to her, a matchmaking family, a heroic dog.

Narrated by Victoria Pinder in an AI digital voice.
