The agents are called Love Interests because getting close to people destined for great power means getting valuable secrets. <p/> Caden is a Nice: The boy next door, sculpted to physical perfection. <br>Dylan is a Bad: The brooding, dark-souled guy, and dangerously handsome. <p/>The girl they are competing for is important to the organization, and each boy will pursue her. Will she choose a Nice or the Bad? <p/>Both Caden and Dylan are living in the outside world for the first time. They are well-trained and at the top of their games.
