The Takedown
Autor Carlie Walkeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 oct 2023
It’s been a long time since Sydney Swift has gone home. An unrelentingly successful CIA field officer, she has spent the last five years pretending to be someone — anyone — other than herself.
But this year, the festive season is coming with some added surprises. Sydney’s beloved little sister has just announced that she’s engaged to Johnny Jones, the heir of an organized crime dynasty. With her built-in cover and her best-in-class reputation, Sydney is approached by the FBI as their way to infiltrate the Jones family at last.
Sydney has until Christmas to gather enough evidence on Johnny to take him down before he pulls off his most dangerous heist yet, all without losing her sister forever. But she hasn’t counted on the challenge of pulling this off right under her family’s nose or the complications of a romantic entanglement with Johnny’s handsome friend and bodyguard, Nick. Sydney always gets her man — but this time love is a target she can’t afford to miss.

Notă biografică
Carlie Walker attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she first majored in Peace, War and Defense, a feeder program for intelligence services—before realizing that she is way too anxious to be a spy. Having gone on to study at Oxford University and at City, University of London, she worked briefly in publishing before becoming the bestselling author of seven books for children and young adults. She has a registered 250-pound dead lift, volunteers in a cat shelter, and used to spend her Saturdays practicing Krav Maga. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and their American dingo.

Sydney's mission is simple:
1. Stop her little sister from marrying a notorious criminal
2. Seduce his bodyguard to gather intel for the FBI
3. Definitely do not fall in love...
Undercover agent Sydney is going home for Christmas. She's just discovered that her younger sister, Calla, is engaged to Johnny Jones - the heir to the nation's most notorious crime dynasty - and she's determined to stop their perfect winter wedding at any cost.
But gathering incriminating evidence on Johnny isn't as easy as she thought, especially as her biggest obstacle is Nick, his infuriatingly handsome and charming bodyguard!
The more time Sydney spends with Nick lines begin to blur. Seducing him to gather evidence was bad enough. But falling for him? Now that's even worse.
Soon Sydney is faced with a difficult decision: one that certainly wasn't covered in her training . . .
Tropes:
· Small town
· One bed trope
· Spicy
· Enemies-to-lovers
