Most spies take a break for the holidays, but not me, Charlotte Locke. As an analyst for Section 47, a secret spy organization, I normally use my magical form of synesthesia to uncover lies and track paramortal criminals from the comfort of my cubicle. But tonight I’m going out into the field, along with my partner, Desmond Percy, a powerful galvanist. Instead of enjoying Christmastime in the city, I’m in a German castle, dressed like a toy soldier and masquerading as a waitress at a swanky Christmas Eve party.

I was 21 when I first met the sarcastic Australian rock star who took the world by storm with his witty charm. Twenty-two when I wrote a viral tabloid article on his bandmate to pay for the medicine that I needed for life. Twenty-three when I realized my dream job in California was destroying every moral in which I was raised to believe. Twenty-four when I accepted that I might have to give up my West Coast dreams to return home and admit defeat. And now, 25, when the lead singer of Violet Wonders comes crashing in.

Some women might find it flattering, being asked out over and over again by a man determined to have you. But not me. Not that the man in question isn’t sexy as sin, funny as hell, and charming as they get. Because he is. But sometimes you just can’t allow yourself to be interested in someone for other reasons, other variables. This is one of those times. Saxon Tate is my best friend’s ex-boyfriend. He cheated on her. He could possibly cheat again. That's three strikes.

I was twelve years old when I met one of the world’s hottest celebrities. Thirteen when I was welcomed into his family. Fourteen when I realized what his unconditional love felt like. Fifteen when he helped me figure out what hope was. And sixteen when my mother’s biggest lie changed our lives forever. I swore I would never be like the woman whose chronic lies impacted everybody around her, but I’d be a hypocrite. Because three years after the truth came out, and I reunited with the boy whose innocent love had been taken from me, I realized I was living the biggest lie of all.
