The Borrowed Brother

Lizzie Fredricks never had previous problem with her dad's job. Not that she knew much about it. All she knew was that he helped put people in places of protection. She had always envisioned her dad, dressed in all black, skillfully moving ex-spies and victims of war crimes to Hawaii or Iceland.

But one day, her dad's work comes home. He brings Henry, a seventeen year old boy, to live with them and pose as her brother from another marriage. Lizzie's town is big enough for mystery, but small enough for real trouble to occur if anyone finds out, and it's up to them to keep the lie as believable as possible.

As Henry's past comes to light and Lizzie's feelings become a little more than merely friendly, the pair has to navigate what exactly they are, who Henry really is, and how much of their relationship is really true.
