The Blonde Who Came In from the Cold
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.)

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.
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.
Blonde Identity consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
