He just wants to live through this last assignment. For CIA agent Parker Jenkins, his final mission has taken a dangerous turn. When the agent he was mentoring goes missing, he finds that the trainee has left him a roadmap of clues leading to a plot to attack an economic conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. If that’s not enough, the only person on site to help him is a young and inexperienced FBI Field Agent who looks like she just stepped off the fashion runway in Milan. She just wants to prove herself in a man’s world. Zoe Blake is deep undercover as a personal stylist for a billionaire who has received a death threat. She is forced to return to the world of high-end fashion––the industry her father inhabits and a world she detests––when instead of investigating the criminal rich, she now has to protect them from a deadly plot. Her dreaded mission gets worse when she is assigned to work under the controlling but way-too-sexy Parker Jenkins. Sometimes help—and love—comes from where you least want it. Or expect it… As the terrorist plot begins to unravel, Parker and Zoe have to work together in order to bring an extremist group to justice before it’s too late. Time is ticking down to tragedy, forcing Parker and Zoe to trust each other. Working undercover together allows them to strip away all pretense and get to know the real person, and they realize they misjudged the other. But will they be too late to reveal their true feelings? Undercover Danger is the first book in the brand-new spin-off series of the Mission Impossible Romantic Series by USA Today Bestselling Author Jacki Delecki.
