The Secret Chord (Conor McBride International Mystery Series, #2) / Conor McBride International Mystery Series (ePub)

An MI6 operative on the run, haunted by an enemy he's never seen and a past he can't leave behind.
Reeling from a disastrous mission he barely survived, Conor McBride needs two things: a place to hide and a different line of work. He finds both at a farmhouse inn tucked into a scenic corner of rural Vermont. He arrives prepared to practice the deception he's been trained for - but not for the friendship of the beautiful innkeeper. Kate Fitzpatrick's straightforward trust in the face of secrets darker than anything she could imagine is a gift that's hard to refuse. Unwilling to lie and unable to confess, Conor hides behind evasions while a prophetic intuition of danger whispers in his head.

The past isn't far enough behind him. He can feel it catching up, and when it arrives with the violence of a nightmare he's seen before, Conor discovers he's not alone in the crosshairs. The beautiful innkeeper has secrets of her own, and as it turns out, hers are more likely to get them both killed.
