The Professional Plus-One part 2

Julian Thron is no longer a ghost. After the Monday Morning Meltdown, his face is scorched onto every security feed in the city. The elite "fixer" has lost his greatest weapon: his anonymity. To stay alive, he has to do the one thing a professional killer never does—step into the light. The Role of a Lifetime: Maya, the brilliant architect who survived the meltdown by his side, has the ultimate exit strategy. She isn't hiding Julian in a safehouse; she’s hiding him in the center of a crowded ballroom. Trading his tactical vest for a bespoke tuxedo and his silence for small talk, Julian must play the part of Maya’s charming Plus One. The High-Society Shark Tank: In a world of silk, champagne, and corporate predators, Maya is now the one in charge. As they hunt Vane—the man who orchestrated their downfall—Julian must suppress every "Professional" instinct to keep their cover. But when every smile is a mask and every handshake is a threat, the performance becomes more dangerous than the mission. In this game of performance and politics, the "Plus One" is a lethal secret waiting to be unleashed.
