Holding Her Own Marie-Nicole Ryan

Pretending to be newlyweds is a dangerous game... especially when you're falling in love.



FBI Special Agent Caitlin Chaney believes in going strictly by the book. She's determined to prove her success has nothing to do with her father's position in the federal government. To her way of thinking, Agent LeFevre is a rogue agent and determined to screw up her operation and her career. Just her luck.



Agent Jake Lefevre is used to running undercover ops his way, and he's not too happy with his new boss, Caitlin Chaney, who's primarily an FBI accountant. Her undercover experience is limited at best. He needs a partner who can hold her own, not some entitled prima donna.



Jake and Caitlin's tenuous cover as newlyweds at a New Orleans casino is tested from the outset as they cope with living together. It's imperative everyone believes they're madly in love and hot, hot, hot for each other. Their assignment is investigating a casino's money laundering and discover what happened to a whistleblower is almost compromised from the very beginning when Jake discovers Caitlin's boss and the casino's CFO is someone he knew and loved as a teenager. If he's recognized, the op will be over before it starts.
