Project Proteus was going so well. Shape-shifting spy Charlene Finley just returned from the Middle Eastern country of Syran with a wealth of information, her ex-husband/handler had been moved to a different department and Charlene is just about to meet the woman replacing him...until peeing on a stick changed everything.

Turns out maternity leave isn't part of the superspy benefits package.

Now Charlene must seek refuge from the very government that hired her. Aided by her assistant John and cultist best friend Marie, can she hide out long enough to have her child? Just who's child is this, anyhow? Do rhetorical questions on the back of books annoy you too?
