With legions of devoted fans and more than seventy million copies of her books in print, Fern Michaels delivers another tightly woven tale featuring captivating characters and such fast-paced authentic prose that readers are practically pulled into the pages. When Sam and her best friend, Slick, fail to make it in the CIA, they team up with ex-wives Kayla, Olivia, and Zoe in a plan to get even with Douglas, the cad in need of a payback, vigilante style. Before they can set their plan for seeking vengeance in motion, the women are lured into a secret law enforcement agency that is hiring CIA dropouts. The agency's recruiter, Poke Donovan, sends Avery Mateo to spy on the five women, but the incompetent mole bungles the job, and now Sam is suspicious of the year-long training contract she has just signed. Meanwhile, Pappy, the covert operation's leader, insists that the Mateo mix-up was orchestrated to test the women, but Sam isn't buying it. So on her first day at Big Pine Mountain, the agency's training headquarters, Sam has a whole list of questions for Pappy about the organization, and the answers are more than she and her band of justice-seekers have bargained for.
