Mae Cassidy knows a forged authorization when she sees one. Keeping its impatient bearer in her London office until the intelligence team arrives requires a little more creativity.
Fortunately, she’s a lawyer. She can make paperwork take as long as necessary.
Known to her CIA handler as Mayflower, Mae trusts the man called Sentinel to handle what happens next. Away from work, he’s Cyrus Jagers, and their dinner before Christmas promises a conversation neither has quite dared to begin.
Then a telephone rings.
Discover the history behind Mae and Cyrus’s partnership and a music box with a purpose far beyond playing a tune in this short prequel featuring dry humor, intrigue, and a hint of unfinished romance.
