Under the Thorne

Fake marriage with Dominic Thorne was supposed to be my biggest undercover gig—nothing more.

He’s America’s golden boy, my classified nightmare, but the way he looks at me makes following orders harder every day.

Every brush of his fingers at my back, every song he hums when we’re alone, chips away at the lines I swore I’d never cross. It all unravels after a fight at 4 AM—one reckless kiss, and suddenly my badge feels as fake as our vows.

I see the brokenness behind his bravado; somehow, he sees straight through me.

He trusts me with the darkest parts of himself, and I surrender secrets I never meant to share.

But then the Geneva file leaks.

My cover’s in flames, and Dominic’s staring at me like I’m the only traitor in the room.

Worst part? I can’t tell if he’s still just a mission—or everything I’ve ever wanted.
