The Suburban Deception: A Fake Marriage Spy Romance

By Dorian Lore

Fake marriage. Real danger. Unexpectedly real feelings.

Harper Evans is the CIA's most lethal, rigid, and hyper-controlled operative. She lives by the manual, color-codes her kill zones, and does not do chaos.

Julian Hayes is MI6's most reckless, charming, and unpredictable agent. He improvises every mission, weaponizes bespoke suits, and takes nothing seriously-especially rules.

When an international extraction goes catastrophically sideways, their agencies force them into an off-the-books Joint Agency Task Force. Their mission? Infiltrate a fortified suburban neighborhood and bring down a rogue billionaire selling a devastating global cyber-weapon.

The catch? The only way in is deep cover as a happily married couple in a pristine Virginia cul-de-sac.

Suddenly, the lethal duo is forced to trade tactical gear for lawnmowers and navigate a domestic cold war:

One Bed: Surrendering to a single primary suite with zero rules and boiling tension.Suburban Warfare: Hiding tactical gnomes from a terrifyingly militant HOA president.Lethal Banter: Pretending to be head-over-heels in love while trying not to murder each other.

As the line between cover story and real passion begins to blur, a deadly assassin targets their suburban sanctuary. Now, the icy CIA assassin and the reckless British spy must learn to trust each other-because failing the mission is dangerous, but falling in love might be lethal.

The Suburban Deception is a standalone spicy romantic suspense novel featuring a grumpy (her) x sunshine (him) dynamic, enemies-to-lovers energy, forced proximity, and lethal competence.
