Synopsis
An action-packed, second-chance rom-com about two rival spies who must join
forces in order to stay alive, from New York Times bestselling author Ally
Carter.
Ten years ago, they joined the CIA.
Six years ago, he left the game.
Five years ago, they fell in love.
One year ago, she ran out into the cold with absolutely no intention of ever coming back.
And two minutes ago, they woke up, bloody and bruised and handcuffed together in the dark.
They don't know where they are. They don't know how they got there. And they have absolutely no idea who is after them or what this nameless, faceless villain wants.
The only thing that's clear is that, after ten years of covers and chemistry, secrets and lies, these two rival spies have been sucked into
their greatest mission yet, and now they're going to have to team up to stay alive. (If they don't kill each other first.)
Praise
"Carter's follow-up to The Blonde Identity is a thrilling and amusing romance featuring finely drawn characters and a twisty, page-turning story. Readers will be on the edge of their seats, unable to put this book down until they discover what happens to Alex and Michael, in spydom and in love."
—Library Journal, Starred Review
"Bestseller Carter combines suspense, sizzle, and snark in this delightful standalone sequel to The Blonde Identity."
—Publishers Weekly
"Ally Carter delivers another fantastic spy romance that you cannot put down!"
—Cathy Berner, Blue Willow Books
"I dropped everything I was doing to read this book and I was right to do so, since it was the most fun I've had in a long time. Alex and King's relationship is dynamic - and I really mean that in its musical sense, in one moment loud and harsh and the next achingly soft and tender. Pure fun!"
—Joanna Szabo, Annie Bloom's Books
