Nineteen-year old Winter Young, the world's hottest superstar, is recruited by a covert organization to take down a criminal tycoon and finds himself paired with Sydney Cossette, a fierce and unpredictable secret agent, but suspicions soon turn to sparks as the two are drawn into a tangled web of secrets and deception.

Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Ally Carter, the dazzling sequel to #1 New York Times-bestselling author Marie Lu's Stars and Smoke, is “a brilliant, breathtaking ride" ― Tahereh Mafi, #1 internationally bestselling author. A year has passed since superstar Winter Young last saw secret agent Sydney Cossette. After barely surviving their mission together in London -- and their intense chemistry -- they haven't talked since, though that hasn't stopped Winter from thinking about her nonstop. . . So when Sydney shows up at his studio with a new mission from Panacea, Winter has no choice but to accept. With no time to lose, the duo heads abroad to rescue a fellow agent -- only to learn he is none other than Sydney's ex. Of course, nothing is ever simple when it comes to Winter and Sydney. As old flames give way to new jealousies, they find themselves ensnared in yet another treacherous plot that's much more sinister than it seems. To make it out alive, they'll have to figure out how to be partners again -- and if they can resist something more.
