The Swallow (Caged Beauty Series, #1)

Kathryn Bryant became an NSA agent only because her asshole ex-boyfriend, the current covert ops director, lied and coerced her into working for the NSA.

She imagined a life with a good-looking husband (former ex-boyfriend), wearing gray pantsuits, and sensible pumps as a boring tax attorney living in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Instead, a uniform of plunging, cleavage-exposing blouses, tight skirts, and stilettos fill her closet.

She’s miserable because espionage appears sexy until the mission includes dry humping a fat, snoring naked man. So she plots to disappear and escape, but she has to complete one last mission with a target that is unlike any other, manufacturing desire for him is unnecessary. Spending the week with Alex Reed without arousing suspicion puts all Kathryn’s wits and training to the test. Alex is a witty, accomplished attorney that unknowingly represents a US company that funds terrorism. Kathryn realizes he may provide the best path for her escape, but can she convince him that their week together wasn't all a lie or will she sacrifice the mission and happiness with the truth?

Isabelle Joshua makes her powerful debut with this intriguing, fast-paced, suspenseful romance. Similar to Carrie on Homeland and Elizabeth on The Americans, Kathryn is thrust into a world of counter-terrorism and uses her sex appeal and intelligence to become the top agent for the NSA, surrounded by men trying to control her life.
