"Do you know the reason I couldn't go to Asia on one of the biggest missions of the year - an assignment I'd slaved over day and night for the past 5 weeks to partake in?" Before Livi can say anything, he abruptly spins her around with a brisk tug at the bottom of her shirt. She comes face to face with the half painted mirror in his studio room with Hrey looming tall behind her, their eyes locked in a stalemate in the glass. "Let me give you a hint..." Without warning, his left hand hovers over her waist-length hair as if ready to sweep her mane to one side. Her pulse skitters. But then instead of touching her, he leans in languidly, his cool breath grazing her bare shoulder. "Here, look in the mirror in front of you. She never lies." "Me..." It's a breathless statement rather than a question out of Livi. --------------------------------------------- Olivia Parker is an ordinary, anxiety-ridden girl on her gap year saving up for college. Her life is lonely, quiet and boring. That is until she gets accidentally swept up in the world of secret government Bureaux Agents when Hreyyann Warren - a newly appointed Agent with past trauma and dark secrets - messes up his mission against the nefarious, lethal Ivlus cult. Livi's life turns completely upside down when she gets sent away for her own safety to hunker down with Agent Hreyyann. Amidst bursts of anger, late-night shenanigans and growing closeness under the same roof, frigidity thaws into friendship and friendship transforms into something more... But everything is never as it seems. Dark secrets brew behind closed doors and realities get buried underground and in the skies behind downcast clouds. Who is Hrey really? What does he do in the Bureaux? What does he want from her? What does she want from him? When there are so many obstacles in the way of their union, can these two hearts ever come together? Or will they forever stay alienated?
