Charlotte Young once lived in the shadows-a lethal assassin known only by code and silence. But she walked away from that world, building a new life as a trauma nurse in the United States, engaged to Michael Reed, a kind-hearted military captain who knows of her past.
But ghosts don't stay buried forever.
When her old boss-a manipulative and dangerous handler named Nikolai-resurfaces and targets her, Charlotte is forced back into the crosshairs. As her new life begins to unravel, she calls in the only people who truly know her: Kennedy, Alexandra, and Liam-former spies turned found family.
What begins as a desperate defense turns into a war of identities, as Charlotte must face the woman she used to be in order to protect the life she's fought for. Old wounds reopen, loyalty is tested, and a new threat-Nikolai's ruthless protégé-emerges, forcing Charlotte into a final confrontation that will either cost her everything... or set her free.
Tense, emotional, and gripping from the first page, Double Life is a story of survival, redemption, and the powerful kind of love that waits through fire and comes home anyway.
