Evie Porter isn't her real name. She was born into a different life, but is now working with Mr. Smith to get whatever he needs from anyone he needs it from. She has discovered secrets, created blackmail, and stolen things. She has lived by many names, but Evie Porter is in danger.
Mr. Smith created Evie to get information on Ryan. A gorgeous man with secrets of his own. When she finds herself falling for Ryan things get difficult. Mr. Smith already doesn't trust her after her failure on the last job. Can she earn back his trust? Does she even want to?
This is a fast-paced page-turner. There were a lot of characters to keep track of and a lot going on considering it's not a long book. Could have been slowed down a little to build more connection to some of the characters.
