A laugh-out-loud romcom about a basic beautician who is dragged into the high-stakes world of espionage after she is recruited for an undercover operation.

Beauty technician Kylie Clarke is the kind of woman that nobody takes seriously, including herself. Until MI5 recruits her. Turns out, they’ve been surveilling a luxury salon that’s suspected of being a front for a major criminal operation. They need someone undercover on the inside, and they’ve learned the hard way that it’s far easier to train a beautician to be a spy than a spy to master a perfect manicure…

Armed with the new alias “Kelly,” a manicure kit, and a very inconvenient attraction to her assigned handler—the sardonic and handsome Agent Locke—she soon learns that juggling waxing appointments, coded messages, and serious sexual tension isn’t as easy as it looks. Can Kylie nail her most high-stakes assignment yet, or will the mission (and her heart) end up in complete chaos?
