Suspended for a hunch gone wrong, CIA language analyst Phoebe Renfrew is desperate to get her job back. But when she uncovers a terrorist plot at a Las Vegas start-up car company owned by famed ex-quarterback Chase Bonaventure, no one listens to her. The CIA doesn't care, the FBI is too busy, and the cops are too tired. Even Chase rejects her wild story about Korean gun runners infiltrating his company to harm the secretary of state. Besides, he's expecting Swedish investors at any minute...Swedish investors who speak only Korean. Chase hires Phoebe to translate at his investor meetings and tries every game plan he knows to keep her from ruining his deal. But Phoebe fears the worst. With time running out, she must nail down the bad guys, her job, and her relationship with Chase. Can she do it all and save Madam Secretary before the Las Vegas All-Elvis Revue belts out the last chorus of "Jailhouse Rock"?

Her first job takes her to Venture Automotive, an electric-vehicle manufacturing start-up, where someone has vandalized cars and stolen data. The loss is devastating for CEO Chase Bonaventure, retired star quarterback of the Las Vegas Rattlesnakes-and the man Phoebe's almost certainly in love with. He's determined to stop the escalating damage before it's too late-and convince Phoebe that their relationship is worth fighting for. As they close in on the culprit, the thief swears vengeance-permanently. Phoebe calls on everyone she knows-including two gossipy and competitive mothers, some NASCAR drivers, a squad of cheerleaders, and a marching band-for help. When the showdown comes at the Rattlesnakes stadium, everyone is at risk. Can Phoebe halt the heist-and figure out her relationship with Chase-before anyone gets hurt?

When a frantic Russian defector jumps into her taxi, CIA language analyst Phoebe Renfrew would love nothing more than to take him to the proper government officials. But then the taxi's windows are shot out. And with the government shutdown, she's got little choice but to take him home. He can hide in the basement of the beautiful but rundown place she just bought with Chase Bonaventure, her fianc . It's only for the weekend. What could happen, right? But between fighting off the attacks of a determined Russian assassin-and deflecting her mother's plans for a big wedding she's not ready for-Phoebe's got her hands full. When the showdown comes, maybe planning a wedding to Chase isn't that important, after all. Because she and Chase may not survive the weekend.
