When hiding in plain sight is no longer possible….
Kate McFarland was born into a crumbling regime of Soviet Russia. She didn't have much as a child, but she had two parents who cared and protected her, and that was enough. Then Fate raked its rusty nail across a blackboard and her mother became a widow. For what seemed like eternity, life looked bleak. But then her mother met a man who was not only decent and kind but rich. It's how Kate finished growing up in the US. It's how her grassroots name became Kate and since her stepfather adopted her, she wanted to show respect by taking his last name.
She was not only allowed but encouraged to make her own decisions; even if one of those meant that at age twenty-five, Kate McFarland emerged from Quantico as Agent McFarland. She had two half-brothers, a half-sister she adored and her mother was happy. But her colleagues whispered behind her back that doors opened for her because she was a billionaire's daughter. She tried to ignore such gossip but there was no denying that it hurt…a lot.
That's why she spent five years behind a desk, doing excellent analytical work and little else. That's why she's defensive when she receives her first field assignment—and is put in charge in spite of her partner having years of seniority over her. For the first time since she came to America, she feels that maybe doors are opening for her too quickly, and easily. And it's all because she is Court McFarland's stepdaughter.
Someone else, however, is orchestrating her rise through the FBI ranks. Someone who is able to stand on the stage and hide in the shadow at the same time. Someone who needs Special Agent McFarland out there, following leads that have only one purpose—to lure the one who is on the run, into a trap.
Because Kate McFarland has no idea that she is someone else's last child.
