One high-risk assignment. Two dangerous secrets.
As a teen, Olive Sterling's entire family was murdered, leaving her alone and desperate for answers. She’s learned to compartmentalize her loss and trust no one. Now she lives in the shadows, working as an undercover investigator for an elite private security firm.
Her latest assignment seems straightforward: Identify a corporate mole who plans to sell dangerous classified technology to foreign operatives. When Olive runs into Jason Stewart—the only man she's ever loved—at her target company, her carefully constructed walls begin to crumble.
With thousands of lives on the line, Olive can’t afford to make a mistake. But as bodies start dropping and suspicions rise, Olive must decide: Can she trust Jason with the truth? Or will exposing the painful secrets from her past prove to be a deadly mistake?
The first book in the pulse-pounding Pros and Cons series, MISDIRECTION is a high-stakes thriller about betrayal, redemption, and the fine line between truth and deception.

MY THOUGHTS
What a great start to a new series! The first chapter immediately grabbed my attention and pulled me into the story. I was completely invested in Olive’s life from that point on.
The mystery was great. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, a surprising twist completely shocked me.
Olive was a great heroine. I can see her joining the likes of Joey Darling and Cassidy Chambers, some of Christy Barritt’s other leading ladies, as a favorite.
I liked that some of the chapters went back and explored Olive’s past. It was very intriguing. There are lots of questions and secrets surrounding her family and the tragedy that took place, so I’m very interested in learning more. I can’t wait to read the next story! If you’re looking for a gripping mystery with characters you can root for, grab a copy of this book. I enjoyed it a lot!
