   Summary

   Tom Hayward is a menace, a law school dropout, and an absolute public nuisance to the joint-task force.
   Mary Bennet is a brilliant, ruthlessly efficient MI5 desk officer fighting tooth and nail to outrun the gossip of family nepotism.

   Locked away in a remote corner of the Thames House archives to track a phantom billionaire, they should be focusing on the data. Instead, Tom has made it his personal mission to elevate Mary's blood pressure through elaborate office warfare, and Mary is on the verge of filing a vetting request for his sanity.

   An MI5/MI6 Espionage AU full of denial, overused fanfic tropes and of course, yearning.
