The New York Times bestselling YA author of the beloved Gallagher Girls series bursts onto the adult scene with a fast-paced, hilarious road trip rom-com about a woman with amnesia who discovers she's the identical twin sister of a rogue spy... and must team up with a rugged, grumpy operative to stay alive.

It's the middle of the night in the middle of Paris and a woman just woke up with no memory.

She only knows three things for certain:

1. She has a splitting headache.

2. The hottest guy she has (probably) ever seen is standing over her, telling her to run.

And oh yeah...

3. People keep trying to kill her.

She doesn't know who. Or why. But when she sees footage of herself fighting off a dozen men there's only one explanation: obviously. . . she's a spy!

Except, according to Mr. Hot Guy, she's not. She's a spy's identical twin sister.

Too bad the only person who knows she's not the woman they're looking for is this very grouchy, very sexy, very secret agent who (reluctantly) agrees to help her disappear.

That's easier said than done when a criminal organization wants you dead and every intelligence service in the world wants you caught. Luckily, no one is looking for a pair of lovesick newlyweds on their honeymoon. And soon they're lying their way across Europe--dodging bullets and faking kisses as they race to unravel a deadly conspiracy and clear her sister's name.

But with every secret they uncover, the truth shifts, until she no longer knows who to trust: the twin she can't remember or the mysterious man she can't let herself forget...

Ally Carter

Ally Carter has built a career out of asking what happens when ordinary girls are thrust into extraordinary circumstances. From teenage spies dodging danger in the Gallagher Girls series to clever thieves plotting impossible heists, and more recently to adults caught up in espionage and romance, her stories thrive on tension, wit, and the thin line between trust and betrayal.

Born and raised on a farm in Oklahoma, Carter grew up far from the glamorous settings her books now explore. With fields instead of city streets as her backdrop, she learned early to rely on imagination. Books from her local library, the encouragement of teachers, and the influence of her mother, who taught English and creative writing, all helped shape her belief that stories could take you anywhere.

Before publishing, she earned degrees in agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University and Cornell, then worked in the agricultural industry. That sharp, analytical background later fed into the structure of her novels, which often read like puzzles: intricate, fast-paced, and demanding just enough from the reader to keep them leaning forward.

Her breakout came in young adult fiction with I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You in 2006, the first of six Gallagher Girls books. The series struck a chord with readers who wanted adventure laced with humor and heart, and soon Carter’s work was on bestseller lists around the world. She followed with the Heist Society and Embassy Row series, each blending international intrigue with themes of loyalty, friendship, and the weight of secrets.

In recent years she has expanded into adult fiction, most notably with Blonde Identity, where her signature blend of romance, danger, and humor finds a darker, sharper edge. Her books have been translated into more than twenty languages and continue to reach new generations of readers who come for the suspense but stay for the characters who feel achingly real.

Whether she’s writing about teenage spies navigating first love or adults facing threats with life-or-death stakes, Carter’s stories carry the same pulse: smart, fast, and full of heart. She invites readers into worlds where every choice matters and where courage is often found in the most unlikely places.

Blonde Identity

When you wake up in Paris bruised, hunted, and without a single memory, every shadow becomes a threat and every stranger a possible ally. That is the hook that pulls readers into the Blonde Identity series, where high-stakes espionage collides with sharp humor and undeniable chemistry.

At its heart is Zoe, a woman whose past has been erased but whose future seems bound to a grumpy, reluctant operative who knows more than he lets on. Their uneasy partnership leads them across Europe, through midnight escapes, dangerous encounters, and moments of startling intimacy, as she pieces together who she is and why the world is after her. Twists of mistaken identity and the chilling presence of a twin who may not be on her side give the story its razor edge, turning every revelation into both a victory and a heartbreak.

The atmosphere of the series is a mix of breathless chase scenes, candlelit banter in safe houses, and the constant question of trust. It balances the tension of a spy thriller with the warmth and humor of a romance, creating a world where bullets fly as quickly as sparks. What lingers after the last page is not only the adrenaline but the exploration of what it means to choose your own identity when the past has been stripped away.

With its blend of espionage intrigue, romantic tension, and fast-paced storytelling, this series stands out as a fresh take on the spy romance genre, appealing to fans who want both edge-of-your-seat action and characters they can’t stop thinking about.
