Elinor Gilbert used to be a rising FBI star—until a betrayal wrecked her career and left her “invisible” in plain sight. Now, a former colleague dangles the one thing she can’t 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.
Elinor’s ordinariness is her greatest weapon—no 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 “being overlooked” into a superpower, this one escalates fast.
