Betrayal's Embrace
Katherine Mayers never saw herself as a spy, but when the FBI recruits her to go undercover as a housekeeper for Carson Cooper—a ruthless arms dealer—she has no choice but to dive in. Her mission: gain his trust, gather intel, and stay alive. But Carson isn't just dangerous—he’s also dangerously irresistible.
As Katy’s cover deepens, so do her feelings for Carson. Torn between her mission and her heart, she’s hiding more than just government secrets. When a deadly business deal goes wrong, and Carson’s life is on the line, Katy must risk it all to save him—while keeping her own identity hidden.
But when Carson uncovers her betrayal, a shocking twist changes everything. He’s been undercover too. Now, with their trust shattered, can they work together to stop a bigger threat, or will the secrets between them destroy their only chance at love?

Chapter: Unspoken TruthsJackson's Point Of ViewWhen Charmaine said she wanted to talk, I was scared. I didn't know what she wanted to talk about and that alone had me irritated. She was the only girl I ever loved. The only girl I was convinced I will ever love. Maybe deciding to stay with this job even after finding out that she was Carson's sister was a bad idea. Maybe I should have left."You look tensed up." She said from the door, startling me to death. She smiled when she saw that she had jumped me and walked further into the room. Her hands were safely tucked behind her. "You also look beautiful. Just staring at the sun. Definitely a picture to kill for. Reminds me of the old days."

Why couldn't you just send a message since you know where we were.""You're supposed to have checked in yesterday and the last three days, why didn't you, Katherine?""It's been really crazy around here. So crazy that I'm beginning to get all use to the ruckus. You might think me incompetent but I'm trying my best, Mrs Smith. I'm trying my best, I'm trying to do everything I can so that this mission would not be a complete disaster. And believe me when I say that there
