When Cammie Morgan meets Josh, an adorably normal boy who has no idea she's a spy-in-training at an elite covert academy, she faces her toughest mission yet: falling in love while keeping her entire secret life under wraps. Armed with fourteen languages, deadly combat skills, and the ability to hack into basically anything, Cammie discovers that none of her spy training prepares her for the vulnerability of genuine feelings. This charming, clever story brilliantly captures that delicious tension of wanting to be honest with someone you care about while knowing you absolutely cannot, all wrapped up in witty banter, heart, and just the right amount of espionage shenanigans. If you love smart heroines, swoon-worthy romance, and a protagonist who can literally kill you but would rather make you laugh, you're in for such a treat!
