Skirting Destiny

When a frantic Russian defector jumps into her taxi, CIA language analyst Phoebe Renfrew would love nothing more than to take him to the proper government officials. But then the taxi's windows are shot out. And with the government shutdown, she's got little choice but to take him home. He can hide in the basement of the beautiful but rundown place she just bought with Chase Bonaventure, her fianc. It's only for the weekend. What could happen, right?

But between fighting off the attacks of a determined Russian assassin-and deflecting her mother's plans for a big wedding she's not ready for-Phoebe's got her hands full. When the showdown comes, maybe planning a wedding to Chase isn't that important, after all.

Because she and Chase may not survive the weekend.
