description: THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT HAS TWO QUESTIONABLE EMPLOYEES: ONE IS A TRAITOR, AND THE OTHER HAS LOST HER EDGE.
  
  Verity Marlowe's life has spiraled into a haze of alcohol and self-pity following the death of her husband. The State Department considers her a security risk, but when terrorist violence erupts overseas, they have no choice but to call her back on assignment.
  
  Michael Strait has lied to Verity about his profession, his feelings and his past. Can she believe him when he insists that the only way to save her life is to trust him? In a high-stakes game of international terror and million-dollar payoffs, someone is determined that she should die. If Verity trusts the wrong person, it will be the last mistake she'll ever make.
