Homicide detective Laura Moreno is done being just okay-ish.
Determined to prove herself, Laura volunteers for a high-stakes undercover assignment inside the writers' room of a hit TV show. Her cover? A rookie screenwriter on the second season of a hit romance show. Her real mission? Unmask Vivienne Sinclair, the elusive author behind the bestselling novels the show is based on-after a fictional murder mirrors a real one a little too closely for the LAPD's comfort.
Blending in was never going to be easy. Hollywood writers' rooms aren't exactly in the police handbook. Keeping her detective instincts in check proves harder than expected. But the real complication comes in the form of Vigo Rivas-a tall, dark-blond Spanish screenwriter, single dog-dad, and walking distraction with devastating charm and far too much ease for flirtation.
As the investigation deepens and the attraction grows impossible to ignore, Laura finds herself torn between the case that could define her career and the man she never planned to fall for-especially while hiding her real identity.
With a killer to catch, a pen name to unmask, and her heart on the line, Laura will have to decide how far she's willing to go for the truth-and whether love can survive the ultimate undercover assignment.
A sexy, witty mystery romance packed with banter, Hollywood intrigue, and just enough danger to keep the pages turning, Falling Undercover is a standalone novel in the Confidential Hearts universe.
Tropes:
- Whodunnit romance
- Secret identity
- Forced proximity
- Dog-assisted meet-cute
