When an FBI Agent and a famous restaurateur with a history of shared kisses need to work together, things are bound to get a little bit messy.
- She was always one for perfection. -
Adelina De Romano was a woman who knew exactly what she wanted.
As a daughter, she wanted all that was best for her family. As a sister, she wanted a good and respectable man to sweep her sister off her feet. As a chef and the owner of the most prestigious restaurant chain in all of New York, she wanted perfection in every dish and every bottle of wine. And as a woman, she wanted to find the perfect man who would make all her wishes come true.
She certainly didn't want to want Special Agent Nick Caldwell, the cocky, infuriating, sexy-as-sin stranger she had kissed while drunk in a pool in the middle of the night. A stranger who just so happens to be her sister's fiance's best friend.
- He was always one for deception. -
Special Agent Nick Caldwell was a man who was always on a mission.
He always did everything that was needed of him to catch a criminal -- from going undercover to even just following a paper trail. He'd given up most of his time for his work, and he'd do just about anything to get the job done.
When catching an international criminal calls for the help of Adelina, Nick plans to make the stubborn girl cooperate with him -- even as the lines between work and play begin to blur.
With days and nights spent together to get the job done, can they pull off the perfect deception?

I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?" I choke on my own spit as my eyes fly open and whirl around to face the owner of the familiar voice. His eyes are hidden behind those damn sunglasses and a rather smug smile graces his face. I continue choking and he does nothing other than flip through a magazine. That smug smile never leaving his face. "You still haven't answered the question." "To hell." I finally manage to choke out. "Awesome," He flips a page in the magazine, "It's about time I returned home. You know, bodies to burn, lost souls to torture, I've missed it. It'll be fun." *** Nicolette Moore. A name law enforcement agencies across the world know. Though no one's ever seen the face of the world's greatest thief and hacker, everyone knows who she is by name. Nicky. She's an absolute genius. Once upon a time she wasn't the best person in the world. When her family was struggling she made some bad choices to help them through it, but when she tried to get out she got pulled in deeper. Ryder Stevenson. He's the son of the director of the FBI, and an FBI Agent himself. He's the one who brings in Nicky to get her protection from the people chasing after her.

She's constantly ditching him only for him to show up later and prove to her he's not that easy to get rid of. They're stuck with each other whether they like it or not. But he doesn't know who she really is. What will he do when he finds out? An FBI Agent protecting THE Hacker. The one the FBI have been after for years...this just screams chaos.Complete
