The Book

They were each other's first love. Now they might be each other's last hope. Perfect for fans of Ally Carter, Spies, Lies, and Alibis is an unputdownable binge-fest, full of laughs, heart, and mischief.

Cybil Langford has spent years hiding behind her polished, professional facade as the executive assistant to a powerful real estate mogul, where she's perfectly positioned to collect intel on her boss's criminal network. But when her mission leads her into the path of Lorenzo Ramirez--a ruthless crime boss with deadly plans--she'll need every ounce of cunning and charm to stay one step ahead.

Then he walks back into her life.

Ben Bradley is deep undercover for the FBI, living under an alias, as a financial advisor with a reputation for helping the wealthy and corrupt launder their money. His target? Lorenzo Ramirez, a dangerous crime boss with his hands in everything from smuggling to murder. But when a familiar face from his past suddenly reappears, things get . . . complicated.

The last time Cybil saw Ben, he was an annoying prankster--and her first crush. The last time Ben saw Cybil, she stole a piece of his heart. Neither expected to run into each other at a high-stakes fundraising gala where crime, corruption, and undercover agendas collide.

Forced to work dangerously close, neither knows the other's true agenda. Cybil sees the boy who once broke her heart, now a man whose motives are deeply suspect. Ben sees the woman he never got over but can't determine if she's an innocent caught in the crossfire or a willing accomplice. As they navigate a world of spies, lies, and fragile alibis, they must dismantle the walls around their hearts.

The intel is classified. The trust is fragile. And their covers are one lie away from blowing wide open.

Book Review

I've been a big Natalie Walters fan for a long time. She's one of my go-tos for suspense reads, and if you've ever caught her posts on social media, you'll know she's also hilarious. In her newest book, I think we definitely see more of that humor shine through... and I was absolutely here for it! Cybil and Ben won me over right from the very start. The last thing anyone expects when going undercover is to run into someone from your past, but that's exactly what happens with these two. Both are keeping secrets, and while we as readers get both POVs, these two have no idea what side the other is on, so that created a really fun dynamic. The romance was very much a slow burn, with the adventure taking front seat for much of the book. The banter and the flirty-ness was there throughout and kept me smiling, while the suspense kept me wondering how everything was going to play out. It felt like the perfect blend of high stakes spy novel with romcom and I loved every second.

Spies, Lies, and Alibis is a closed-door romantic suspense with kisses only and no language.
