The Takedown

By: Carlie Walker

Narrated by: Sarah Naughton

"I think about mistletoe and the dimples on his lower back and - oh yes - how I've seduced him for the government"

With enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating and undercover agents, The Takedown is a sweet and spicy holiday romcom that is Miss Congeniality meets Mr and Mrs Smith. Perfect for fans of B.K. Borison and Emily Henry.

He wants to take her out. She wants to take him down...

Sydney's mission is simple:

1. Stop her little sister from marrying a notorious criminal
2. Seduce his bodyguard to gather intel for the FBI
3. Definitely do not fall in love...

Undercover agent Sydney is going home for Christmas. She's just discovered that her younger sister, Calla, is engaged to Johnny Jones - the heir to the nation's most notorious crime dynasty - and she's determined to stop their perfect winter wedding at any cost.

But gathering incriminating evidence on Johnny isn't as easy as she thought, especially as her biggest obstacle is Nick, his infuriatingly handsome and charming bodyguard!

The more time Sydney spends with Nick lines begin to blur. Seducing him to gather evidence was bad enough. But falling for him? Now that's even worse.

Soon Sydney is faced with a difficult decision: one that certainly wasn't covered in her training . . .

Tropes:
· Small town
· One bed trope
· Spicy
· Enemies-to-lovers
