‘A thrilling second-chance love story full of twists and turns’ – The Daily Express
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 . . .
The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold is an action-packed, second-chance rom-com about two rival spies who must join forces in order to stay alive, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Blonde Identity, Ally Carter.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Carter combines suspense, sizzle, and snark in this delightful standalone sequel to The Blonde Identity. CIA operative Alexandra Sterling (twin sister of Zoe, the heroine of the first book) has spent a decade reinventing herself for undercover missions, along the way falling in and out of love with fellow spy Michael "King" Kingsley. Alex is on the verge of tendering her resignation when she wakes up handcuffed to King in an unknown location. The estranged lovers work together to get free and then team up to discover who abducted them and why. While dodging death at every turn, King and Alex realize the spark between them never dimmed. But will they stay alive long enough to enjoy it? Carter skillfully fleshes out Alex and King's tumultuous relationship with flashbacks to their past missions and romantic liaisons. The tone stays light and fun even as plentiful action—including red herrings, double crosses, and gun fights—keeps the pages turning. With snappy dialogue, slow-burning romantic tension, and some exciting twists, this makes for an entertaining diversion.
