Dangerous Bedfellows: A True Story of Loving a CIA Assassin

Rachel Solomon made two mistakes.

First, she fell in love with a handsome international bodyguard who was secretly a CIA assassin. Second, she asked questions.

A true story of love, espionage, and murder from 1980s Los Angeles.

Pulled into a covert world of deception, violence, and state secrets, Rachel quickly discovers her relationship is more than dangerous—it's intolerable to the powers that control Tom McKenna's life. Trained from childhood to serve a mission he never chose, Tom knows that returning Rachel's love is a catastrophic breach of security—one his handlers will never forgive.

As pressure closes in, Rachel and Tom are forced into a psychological and physical battle with an agency determined to erase their relationship by any means necessary.

Soon, what begins as surveillance and manipulation escalates into direct threats, kidnapping and lethal risk—testing not only their loyalty to each other, but their will to survive.

Some love affairs end in betrayal. Others end in blood.

Only after forty years is this story finally safe to tell.
