The Agent's Wife - by Carol Morley (Paperback)

About the Book

Seven years into her ill-fitted marriage to Federal Agent Dru O'Neil, Elise had enough of bomb squads, gun raids, and surveillance missions. The once prominent investment broker secretly sets out to reclaim her own self-worth.

Book Synopsis

Harvard graduate Elise O'Neil rues the day she traded in her Wall Street corner office and pinstriped suits to marry Federal Agent Dru O'Neil. Life in the shadows of a man consumed by high-profile undercover assignments, bomb raids, and surveillance missions finds the once prominent investment broker diminished to a woman desperate to reclaim her own self-worth.

After seven years of living in a home where crime infiltrated every core of daily life, Elise has had enough! Had Agent Dru O'Neil not been consumed in his world of solving newsworthy crime, he may have noticed his marriage had failed beyond reconciliation.

When she and their three sons fail to return from a family visit to New England, Dru realizes he forgot to ask one important question.

"How long did you plan to stay?"

Had the top-notch agent been paying attention he would have known, she never planned to return.
