"He's only been training for a little more than three months."

“I know. It's a surveillance op. All he has to do is watch, and he'll be going in undercover with his wife."

The flash of white-hot jealousy sliced through me. Tabs was a field agent. And she was damn good. And she was unbelievably sexy. She was good bait. Perfect, actually. Except, I wanted to be the one in the field. I wanted the opportunity. But I knew that wasn't going to happen.

My brother crossed his arms and his head hung. "No, not Tabs. You. That's what I've been trying to tell you, if you would give me a chance to talk. You'll be going undercover as his wife."

I stared at him, trying to understand the words that were coming out of his mouth, letting them soak in. I got about as far as, 'you'll be going undercover' and my heart stuttered to a stop. And then I heard the rest of it. 'You'll be going undercover as his wife.'
