A vow built on deception.

She’s living someone else’s life. One wrong move could end her own.

To pay for her sister’s surgery, Lauren, a former intelligence operative, accepts the most dangerous job of her career: to infiltrate the world of powerful mob boss Nero Lucidi by becoming someone she’s not.

She’s trained for deception. She knows how to wear another woman’s face. What she didn’t plan for was Nero.

Sharp, guarded, and dangerously perceptive, he sees through people for a living. Their every interaction crackles with tension and something far more dangerous than suspicion.

As Lauren digs deeper into the world she’s infiltrated, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens everything. The lies are multiplying. The danger is closing in, and the only person she’s starting to trust is the man she’s been paid to deceive. She came to play a role. She didn’t expect to lose herself in it.
