Cage Murdock is not a relationship kind of guy. As such, he is used to giving out fake details about his job and other aspects of his life to avoid awkward morning after expectations. He thinks nothing of telling Jaime he is a used car salesman rather than the secret operative he really is. When they make a very real connection and he wants to continue getting to know her he knows he needs to find a time to come clean. But his lie catches up to him when they get married quickly and he still hasn’t found the time to come clean. Will she be able to forgive the lie when she learns the truth? Or will his lie doom them before they’ve hardly begun?

Jaime wasn’t expecting to find a spark when she brought Cage home, but what started as a one night thing quickly leads to more. She is caring, compassionate and empathetic. Her job has her constantly facing the fallout of domestic violence and bad relationships, giving her a low tolerance for deception and lies. She is close with her family, and knows they always have her back.

Parts of the beginning of this story played out in the background of Code Name: Ghost, so readers of the series will recognize several scenes though this time from a different point of view. I appreciated the scenes we didn’t get to see (that he didn’t share with Anna in Ghost) and the added insight to the relationship these scenes gave. There were times some of the repetition made the story slow down for me, but I also enjoyed seeing Jaime’s perspective of the familiar events. But, when the stuff hits the wall and Jaime needs help, his secret is blown and though he is fairly sure he can save his wife, he isn’t as certain he can save his marriage.

I love the Jameson family, and Cage has long been a favorite with his fun-loving, carefree way. I loved watching him fall for Jaime, and though I was frustrated with his little lie that quickly turned huge the longer he went without coming clean (and was frustrated as Anna was in Ghost), he was so much fun to watch as he navigated a relationship. While these two were quick to walk the aisle, their story did not end with their vows, as Cage’s secrets hung over their heads. I loved watching him do his thing and then have to figure out how to make things right with Jaime to save what has become such an important part of his life in a very short time: his marriage.
