Aurora is an American law student spending a year in Paris.
Classes, exams, late dinners, and a coveted internship in a French defense firm shape what feels like a carefully earned life abroad.
Until she understands that her selection was not accidental.
As a sensitive international deal unfolds behind closed doors, Aurora is approached - quietly, without threats or theatrics - and asked to cooperate.
The request is framed as reasonable. Temporary. Almost harmless.
There are no chases.
No weapons.
Only access, discretion, and decisions that cannot be reversed.
Caught between her internship, a growing relationship, and the life she has begun to build in Paris, Aurora enters a double existence where loyalty blurs and silence becomes a form of currency.
The Paris Internship is a quiet espionage novel about power, compromise, and the moment an ordinary life stops being neutral.
John Christopher Cressia delivers a restrained, contemporary espionage story driven by moral pressure rather than action.
Book One of the Clearance series.
