Book 2 in the Flight Risk Spy series. Amanda thought she was figuring out the rules: spy games, coded messages, and power players pulling strings behind the scenes. But when she's sent to Tokyo to meet with investors courting Tristan, she uncovers something far more dangerous-a shadow network of kingmakers who buy, sell, and manipulate the world's wealth through secretive bonds that control entire nations. And now, they've noticed her. When Amanda unravels the mystery behind a death she's already witnessed, suspicion tightens around her, and her cover teeters on the brink of exposure. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes-this isn't just about money; it's about power, and those who wield it don't tolerate loose ends. With suspicions rising and time running out, Amanda's only chance is to board the last flight out of Tokyo to find answers in a game where fortunes are made, lives are lost, and escape is never guaranteed. Tokyo's neon streets pull her deeper into the adrenaline-fueled chase she's come to crave, but her family's plea reminds her of the life she left behind.
As secrets unravel around her and loyalties are tested, Amanda must decide: Can she walk away from the excitement of the chase to be there for the people who've always been her anchor? She's not sure she knows how to be the woman she once was, or if her family will understand the woman she's become. Torn between solving the mystery and settling down to face the past she's been running from, Amanda must choose: the thrill of the unknown, or the people who know her best.
