Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient.
Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent.
Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities.
Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail.
Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek.
Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal, having no idea that they just married their secret partner in crime.
But neither expected what would happen next.
-------------
Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass.
"Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other.
To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes.
Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is."
"No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!"
"No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!"
"Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.
A few chapters in and you'd know you're in for some fun~ I really like how the characters are portrayed and the FLxML dynamic is entertaining to read about. This one is really a breath of fresh air (no pun intended) and if you wanna read something different from the usual urban romances, try this out!!
Only four chapters are out so far, but man has this story started with a bang! You don’t often find such spy-inspired intrigue and mystery in a romance, and I’m here for it! Writing quality is great, author is a very stable updator, and I’m excited to see what lies in store for Zephany and Kendrick. Will they solve the mysteries of their past? Will I get to learn all the secrets of their present? I hope so! Keep up the good work, Author!
Love the enemies to lovers trope. Very well-written with detailed settings. It isn't too fast-paced, and lets you internalize each event. Kudos!
You can see the potential even though it's just in its first chapters. Both the action and mysteries are well balanced and I can't get enough of it!
What I loved the most was the personalities of Zephany and Kendrick. The right-left situation was funny when I imagined it. Then the world and how it worked. The mission world, I mean. The mystery just keeps growing with this kinda world. How big would the explosion be... Also the level system was something new. And oof! When they dropped... Their backgrounds, and characters were really well written to be felt. Those 2 hedgehogs! It was cute reading them, huhu. Looking forward to when they romance.
The story is embroiled in mystery from the very beginning and it hooks you right in from the first chapter. The need to know what is going to happen next keeps you reading. Zephany's character is hilarious 😂 I loved her. She is smart and funny with a knack to turn serious situations into funny ones. Kendrick was more serious kind, but I am sure he will open up more. The way you have detailed everything from the alarm systems to their tasks, it was a treat to read. Updates are steady and writing quality is top-notch. You are doing amazing 😍 so keep going. 🤗
It's hard to find interesting secret spy romance on WN. The author does a good job so far, balancing the action, humor and romance. All the best, author! 🎉
