What to expect
‘Ally Carter is a rom-com genius!’ – Sarah Adams, author of Practice Makes Perfect
‘A thrilling second-chance love story full of twists and turns’ – The Daily Express
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 . . .
The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold is 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.

Critics Review
User Reviews
I now feel the need to re listen to the first of the duo - the story lines interweave really well and it would have helped me if I’d remembered it slightly better. Not that detracted at all from my enjoyment of this book. Characters, plots, narration and all were super.
