Elinor Gilbert used to be a rising FBI starâuntil a betrayal wrecked her career and left her âinvisibleâ in plain sight. Now, a former colleague dangles the one thing she canât ignore: her reputation restored, her pension backdated, and her life returned. The price? Going undercover as a live-in nanny for a wealthy New York art dealer suspected of laundering money for a cartel.
Elinorâs ordinariness is her greatest weaponâno one notices the middle-aged nanny. But the closer she gets to the family, the more the mission blurs into something dangerously human. A dead snake on the doorstep. A baby targeted. A shadowy network circling the house. And then the twist: Elinor may not be working for the FBI at all.
If you like high-stakes undercover tension, domestic suspense, and a heroine who turns âbeing overlookedâ into a superpower, this one escalates fast.
