He’s a spy for the Clandestine Services Agency. She’s a spy for the CIA. They’ve been clashing on joint missions for months, but their worlds are about to seriously collide.
Here are three things that I know. 1) I’m an expert at reading body language, 2) I excel as an intelligence operative, and 3) Ledger Lancaster — daring, fearless, and recklessly charming — is my rival. Or enemy, depending on the day.
What I didn’t realize from our first mission overlap a year and a half ago — a mission I thought Ledger was using to gain the upper hand only for me to beat him at his own game — was that his interest in me wasn’t an act. How could I have guessed?
Since then, Ledger and I have been enjoying (me more so than he) our fierce competitive rivalry, all while I pretend I don’t have abandonment issues. But everything changes when our agencies have a mission overlap, and we are sent on an operation spanning European countries. As in working together, not working against.
