A seamless mix of spy thriller grit and heartfelt emotional vulnerability.
Dangerous Decisions by Evie Jacobs follows CIA analyst Angela “Angie” Liu as her life is upended by the death of Rick Hughes, an asset whose plane went down in the Caribbean. While official reports dismiss Rick as just another smuggler, Angie cannot accept that explanation. Haunted by guilt and driven by a relentless need for the truth, she embarks on an unauthorized investigation that could jeopardize her career—and her life. Her pursuit leads her to Miami, where a chance encounter with Nate Hughes, Rick’s son, ignites a fiery and unexpected connection. What begins as a brief, passionate fling becomes complicated the moment Angie discovers Nate’s identity, forcing her to navigate the tension between her loyalty to the CIA, her desire for justice, and the unexpected depth of her feelings. As Angie works with Nate and his siblings, the investigation uncovers a dangerous network of lies, corruption, and organized crime, revealing that Rick’s death was far from accidental. Every step forward brings new risks, and Angie must weigh how much she is willing to sacrifice for truth and vengeance.
