Publisher Description
When a pyrotechnic engineer discovers her biological father is an international criminal, she must work with a sexy CIA agent to take him down in this thrilling adventure rom-com.
Andee Paxton knows she’s good at her job as a fireworks designer. What she doesn’t know is that her biological father is Holt, a dangerous arms dealer who has escaped prison. And now he’s searching for his long-lost daughter-dearest.
After the CIA surprises her with this news, they drop another bombshell: they want to use Andee as bait to capture Holt once and for all. But before the CIA can even attempt to spring their trap, she’s kidnapped along with the very hot Officer Adam Chan—all because they were too busy flirting to worry about silly things like “safety protocol.”
A fake relationship—for their protection, of course—and just a few explosions bring Andee and Chan closer, but there’s more than their growing connection at stake. If Holt’s plan succeeds, the world will be brought to its knees. Andee and Chan must rely on each other to stop him…or else everything (including their feelings for each other) might just blow up in their faces.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fake dating and international intrigue enliven Smith's addictive sequel to The Spy and I. Fireworks designer Andee Paxton has always been told by her mother that her father is Hollywood star Keith Huxley-Beck. But after reading in the tabloids that Huxley-Beck has fathered a child who could be her half sister, Andee decides to take a DNA test—and comes home to find CIA agents on her doorstep, among them Adam Chan, the hottie she recently met at a bar. Turns out, Andee's real father is an international arms dealer named Holt and Chan's on a mission to take him down before he unleashes a new chemical weapon called "the kill pill." When Andie and Chan are kidnapped by Holt and end up in the Paris catacombs, they pose as boyfriend and girlfriend to conceal Chan's status as an agent. Smith does a masterful job of mixing high-stakes action with rom-com tropes and witty banter, leading readers on a superb thrill ride with plot twists aplenty. With heaps of derring-do and explosive chemistry between the leads, this is an incredibly satisfying treat.
