I was a case officer for the CIA before I started selling flowers and saccharine greeting cards in Savannah's most popular florist shop. Sounds like the lead-in for a sassy chick-lit novel, doesn't it?

I assure you, it is not.

Life, death, love, lies...that was my reality, and it was the farthest thing from anything sassy that I can possibly imagine. Even though I lived in secrets and shadows, I have no reason to lie to you about it now. Whether or not you believe me is up to you...but I hope you will.
