Smuggling through the porous Mexican border brings dangerous work for a Customs Agent. But MY SPY has reason to suspect that terrorists are trying to exploit the same border to bring in weapons for a major attack. Jamie Cassidy is undercover when Deputy Brianna Tridle picks him up for acting suspiciously. He isn't completely straight with her, and next thing she's found the weaponry he stashes in a secret compartment in his car. This is no dozy country officer. The prosthetic legs Jamie has to wear set off metal scanners, and she makes a few phone calls. But Homeland Security directs her to release Jamie.

Jamie brushes away the matter despite the jibes of his comrades. The man known as the Coyote is planning to move in three weeks, and the officers have still no knowledge of the location. Drugs and illegal immigrants steal their way north, while guns and crime money are carried south, and the officers patrol stealthily at night. But determined, clean-sheet Brianna persists until she gets agreement from higher-up to be involved in whatever is going on. She likes her town orderly and under her control.

The undercover operation hots up and informers are called upon to provide information. Yet that's not all that's happening. Counterfeit bills, a stalker and vandals all fill Brianna's day. The town's main employer, a wire mill, is closing and social changes are underway.

I thought Brianna seems like a nice person, caring for her sister with autism while she administers mild justice to kids short of work, but sharp with her handgun when faced with a tattooed gang member keen to blast his way to freedom. Jamie gets interested in her personally, but he doesn't expect any girl to get involved with him. He's got too much baggage, and his job isn't ideal for a relationship. Threats to the deputy and disturbance at her home however rouse his protective instincts. The crime boss the Coyote has no hesitation in killing people to get his way, and officers like Brianna are on the front line.

The second part of this romantic suspense story by Diana Morton is called 'Spy In The Saddle' and MY SPY should be read first. I found it an exciting, tense action read with a wide variety of characters and a well-described location.
