'A unique, delightful, hilarious, unputdownable romance' - Ali Hazelwood, bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
'I can't remember the last time I had so much fun reading a book' — Stephanie Garber, bestselling author of A Curse for True Love
The Blonde Identity is a hilarious, action-packed, road-trip rom-com with witty banter, sexy operatives, and the ultimate high-stakes from New York Times bestselling author, Ally Carter.
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. Which is 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 . . .
Look out for more romcom action in The Blonde Who Came in from the Cold.

Starred review from June 12, 2023
Bestselling YA author Carter (the Gallagher Girls series) serves up an irresistible cocktail of danger and passion in her un-put-downable adult debut. A woman wakes up on an icy Paris sidewalk with no memory of who she is and bad guys closing in. According to her enemies, she’s a rogue CIA operative named Alex who stole a critical flash drive from a Russian mobster and now she’s on the run for her life. Run she does—right into the arms of sexy spy Jake Sawyer, who rescues her from her myriad pursuers and informs her that she’s really Alex’s innocent identical twin sister, Zoe. With a Russian gangster and a shady CIA agent hot on their heels, Sawyer and Zoe must jump on and off trains, boats, and bridges to stay alive—and locate the real Alex. Carter ratchets up the danger—and the sexual tension—at every turn, throwing plenty of red herrings across the trail and keeping readers guessing who to trust. Zoe’s sense of humor in the face of danger adds levity, and readers will fall hard for gallant Sawyer. Carter also expertly teases a sequel about Alex, whetting appetites for the next installment. This snappy and suspenseful romance fires on all cylinders. Agent: Kristin Nelson, Nelson Literary. -
Veteran duo Emily Ellet and Andrew Eiden expertly deliver this steamy romance with elements of THE BOURNE IDENTITY. A woman wakes up without memories yet instinctively knows how to fight. She runs into a brooding yet attractive spy who tries to convince her that she isn't actually a fellow spy but the identical twin of one. This audiobook has a simplistic plot peppered with humor, thrills, and heart-throbbing romance. Ellet and Eiden entice listeners with their smooth narrations, creating an even flow of well-paced events that melt into each other. The fun is mostly in the bond between the main characters, who deliver the right quirks for hilarious moments and the steamy emotions of the tender ones. G.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
