Operation Kane

Elia will do anything to get her best friend's older brother to notice she's a woman now, even become a spy. Elia can't hide her five-year crush for her best friend's older brother, Kane, anymore. She's two months shy of being legally dateable, and she intends to make good use of that time to finally attract Kane's attention. An opportunity arises when she finds herself in trouble with the Elemental Extremists, a dangerous group intent on harming her best friend, Vela. Kane discovers this danger and offers to go under cover with Elia to protect her and his sister. Elia wants to prove to Kane she's more than a 17-year-old, she's a young woman. The problem is Kane will always think of her as too young, even though he's only twenty. Using her savvy computer skills and makeup tips, she transforms herself into a competent spy to prove to him how wrong he is. Despite the makeup, she's older than she looks, and she'll do anything to prove it. Dive into this world of Elementals, unrequited love, and the power of hope. Enjoy the best friend's older brother, forbidden love, fake dating, and friends-to-lovers tropes in this powerful story of faith and young love. Even though this is book 2.5, it can be read as a standalone.
