Dangerous Illusion
Our take
Valerie has spent her whole CIA career being prim, proper, and utterly buttoned-up, exactly what it takes to survive in a boys' club like Langley. Her new neighbor Luna is none of those things, elusive and clearly hiding something. Getting close to her might be the most dangerous assignment Valerie never signed up for. A sapphic spy romance set at the height of Cold War paranoia, where the love interest might genuinely be the enemy. It plays the espionage stakes as real, not as flavor text. It's tense in the classic thriller sense before it's ever tense in the romantic one.
Publisher's description
Valerie Bradley has always lived by three words: Prim. Proper. Professional. Fresh out of training and armed with a sharp mind and indomitable willpower, she's ready to prove herself at the CIA--even if it means suppressing every vulnerable part of herself to fit in with the boys' club of Langley.
What she doesn't expect is the mysterious woman across the street from her new home.
Luna is captivating, elusive, and clearly hiding something. Valerie knows better than to get involved, but when quiet glances turn into a tense game of proximity, she finds herself falling into something far more treacherous than any mission she could be assigned. Because Luna isn't just her neighbour and confidante--she might be the enemy.
Set during the height of Cold War paranoia, Dangerous Illusion is a heart-racing blend of spy thriller and forbidden romance. With secrets on both sides of the street, Valerie must decide what's more dangerous: the mission--or falling in love.
