He’s her teacher. She’s an undercover spy. And one stolen artifact might get them both killed.

Annouie Bach is done.

Done lying to her best friend.

Done scraping by.

Done pretending.

Then her handler makes her an offer: find the lost manuscript, and she’s free.

The catch? Go undercover as a student of Antony Meyer-Edwards—a brilliant, arrogant music prodigy hiding secrets that may be darker than her own.

When the artifact lands on his doorstep, everything explodes. Rival operatives close in. Hired guns want her dead. And the one man who might save her… could destroy her instead.

Meyer-Edwards is magnetic. Infuriating. Impossible to read.

Getting close could set her free—or cost her everything.

Think Celaena Sardothien dropped into John Wick’s world.

Mastering the Art of Deception is a sleek, slow-burn espionage thriller packed with mind games, simmering tension, and operatic stakes—perfect for fans of Killing Eve, The Night Manager, and morally complex heroines who always choose the hardest path.
