His secret is survival. Mine is betrayal.
Teen agent Quinn Cynthia Galvez is sent to seduce Killian Blaze Vesper for intel on his family's crimes.
Quinn Cynthia Galvez is 17, a third-generation Filipino-American operative, and St. Bernadette Academy's newest transfer student. Her mission: get close to Killian Blaze Vesper, seduce him, and extract evidence on Project Cardinal, the weapons smuggling operation run by his family. The Vespers are Mafia bloodline, untouchable in Metro Manila.
There's one problem. Killian isn't like his parents. He knows exactly what the Vespers do, and he hates it. He's stayed silent for years because his father made the threat clear: speak up, and his little sister dies first. He's not a criminal heir. He's a hostage with the right last name.
Quinn was trained to lie, manipulate, and complete the mission at any cost. She wasn't trained for a target who leaves her clues to his family's crimes, who looks at her like she's the only safe thing in his world, who trusts her when he can't trust anyone.
When Quinn discovers Killian is innocent and terrified, her orders change. She goes behind her handler's back and cuts a deal with the police: she'll deliver Project Cardinal, if they get Killian and his sister, and mother into witness protection before the Vespers realize he talked. His name stays clean. No courtroom. No fall guy.
But Tita Agnes, her handler, wants a bigger win. The agency wants a Vesper signature on the takedown, and Killian's 18th birthday gives them access to the family's offshore accounts. One signature from him closes the case. It also frames him for life.
Now Quinn has 4 months to bring down one of the most dangerous family in Manila, keep a terrified boy alive, and decide which betrayal she can live with. Her agency's, or his.
