There are three things you need to know about Anna. 1) She's a bounty hunter with adrenaline junkie habits, 2) She's the "awkward" twin, and 3) She's a thief - kind of. Darius designs security systems for Cipher Security, and the strange and remarkable woman he met the night the painting was stolen is as intriguing a mystery as his hunt for the thief is.

Anna and Colette Collins are on a mission to get back a painting done by their mother and her sister.  It was stolen years ago by Markum Gray and now hangs in the house of his son, Sterling, who uses Cipher for security.  Anna and Colette develop a plot that involves being twins to set up an alibi for the time when Anna is stealing the painting.  Once they are successful, they discover that there is more to the painting than they originally thought.  When Anna becomes involved with the man from Cipher that she calls her Disney prince, Darius Masoud, she puts both herself and her sister in danger.  Darius left Iran with his parents and brother when he was a child and now designs security systems for Cipher Security, including the one Anna beat in Sterling Gray's home.  Now Darius is determined to find out how his system was defeated and learn more about the woman that he suspects of accomplishing it.

Code of Honor is a good second book in the Cipher Security series.  Anna has absolutely no filter, so most things that come out of her mouth are inappropriate and often funny.  Her quirky personality and the art heist keep the story from getting too bogged down in Darius and his rules for living a clean life.  There isn't much mystery or suspense since we know that Anna stole the painting and why, pretty early on in the book.  We don't get much about Darius's background and Anna is so eccentric that it is difficult to connect with the characters or their story.  Overall, Code of Honor is a good entry in the Cipher Security series, but doesn't bring a lot of excitement to the table.
