She’s a spy.
He’s her teacher.
One artifact could kill them both.
Annouie Bach is done—
done lying to her best friend,
done scraping by,
done pretending.
Then her handler makes her an find the lost manuscript, and she’s free.
The catch? Go undercover as a student of Antony Meyer-Edwards—a brilliant, arrogant music prodigy with secrets darker than her own.
When the artifact lands on his doorstep, everything detonates. Rival operatives close in. Mercenaries want her dead. And the one man who might save her… could destroy her instead.
Meyer-Edwards is magnetic. Infuriating. Impossible to read.
Getting close could set her free—or cost her everything.
Mastering the Art of Deception is a sleek, emotionally charged espionage thriller of mind games, simmering tension, and operatic stakes—for fans of Killing Eve, The Night Manager, and the unflinching grit of Le Carré and Greaney.
