Joe McConnell CEO of McConnell Aerospace, believes that a member of his executive board is selling secrets not just as an espionage spy to a rival company but to a foreign government. He hires former FBI agent Aimee Devlin of Partners in Crime to ferret out the culprit amongst his inner eight. Pretending to be an executive assistant, Aimee soon hones in on the newest member of the inner sanctum, CFO Race Gardner, who acts suspiciously.

At the same time that Aimee focuses in on Race, he pays extra attention to her as an undercover CIA agent trying to figure out who is selling secrets to the enemy. Aimee acts more suspiciously. Quickly both realize the other is an operative and soon they combine their resources to uncover the traitor even as they fall in love.
