      Alexis Parker's temporary relocation to sunny California isn't something she ever saw coming, just like the homicide victims she stumbled upon while conducting a security check. Before she can even call for help, Alex realizes the shooters are still inside the building and she's the only one around to stop them. But showing up to a gunfight without a gun is foolish, if not downright suicidal, and she made Martin a promise that she'd try to be more careful. So she does her best to slow them down, but the authorities arrive too late. With the shooters on the run, Alex can't help but get caught up in a murder investigation that turns into something much worse than she thought possible. Her client has vanished. His assistant says it's due to a family emergency, but that doesn't track. Everyone has secrets. But in this instance, Alex isn't sure which will prove fatal. All she knows is there's a clock on this case, and if she doesn't figure it out in time, the consequences will be catastrophic

      Secrets prove deadly in Alexis Parker's latest case...Alexis Parker is used to humdrum work assignments.

So who can argue with that?But when a client asks Cross Security to put his soon-to-be wife under surveillance, Alex knows there's more to the story than meets the eye. At first, the client's worries seem unfounded. He has no reason to believe his fiancée is a cheater or a liar, so why does he want her investigated?

And Alex is about to discover just how imperfect their lives really are...

      With the shake-up at the OIO, Alexis Parker is assigned to assist the DEA on a long-term undercover operation across the country. Being away from home might be just what Alex needs to regain some perspective, especially when Martin's been so distant lately. But this assignment might be more than either of them bargained for since the death toll continues to rise while hard evidence remains zilch. After being transplanted across the country and given a cover identity that makes Alex appear to be more of a loner than she actually is, she is recruited by a nearby cult leader. He has a history with drugs and has been accused of sexual abuse, so being forced to live at the commune isn't exactly a walk in the park. Luckily, Alex's DEA counterpart, Agent Jackson Decker, is a seasoned undercover operative more than willing to watch her back, even if she questions his ability to conduct a proper investigation. After all, Decker's been under for eight months with hardly any evidence to show for it. However, the growing number of former cult members turning into dead drug mules indicates that something sinister is brewing. Parker and Decker need to find enough proof to shut down the cult, put an end to the drug trafficking, and make sure the self-proclaimed religious leader pays for his sins. It's another hell of a case.
