She was blackmailed into working against MI6 when her lover was captured.

007 is assisted in this mission by Rene Mathis, Felix Leiter, and the devastatingly beautiful Vesper Lynd, who manages to get underneath 007’s armor and worm her way into his heart. The stakes only get higher after the dust settles on their high-stakes game as Bond is drawn into a showdown with Le Chiffre and a betrayal from one of his allies comes to light. Turns out, Vesper was acting as a double agent the whole time. If Bond can bankrupt Le Chiffre at the casino, it could force Le Chiffre to help them out as an informant in exchange for protection. In both versions 007 is sent to bankrupt Le Chiffre, a criminal money man who is on the brink of disaster after losing his client’s money. Unlike many adaptations of Fleming’s novels, the plot is remarkably consistent with what you find on the page.

In both cases, it serves as a sort of introduction to the suave British agent with the cold eyes. Casino Royale was the first book in Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, but it was the 21st movie in the film series.
