Description
Ms. and Ms. Smith meets The Pairing in this heart-racing romance of secrets, spies, and steam.
A few rules for the international superspy:(1) Never blow your cover.
(2) Never accept the first plan.
(3) Never fall for anyone at the agency. Especially if she's your ex-girlfriend. Second-generation spy Yardley Whitmer, code name "the Unicorn," can do no wrong. With her combination of debutante-style charm and expert spycraft, she's become an instant legend in the field. If only finally moving out of her girlfriend's home were as easy as rappelling off the Eiffel Tower. But living a full-time cover story has slowly eroded her relationship with KC until there's nothing left but lies. KC "Tabasco" Nolan, hacker extraordinaire, can crack anything--except the code that would tell her the right moment to confess her secret job to Yardley. Now it's too late, and she's in danger of losing the best chance at love she's ever had. When an undercover shakedown goes wrong, Yardley and KC discover the unbelievable truth--that they are Unicorn and Tabasco, and they've both been working with the agency for years. To salvage the mission, they're compelled to partner up and fly across oceans, race through winding European streets, and give in to inconvenient passion while hiding in an ambassador's linen closet. But can they throw away their Plan A and fight through the betrayal and secrets to fall in love with each other's true selves?

Reviews
Praise for If I Told You, I'd Have to Kiss You:
"A whirlwind of spies and lies and sexy fun, Mae Marvel always understands the assignment to the highest possible degree. Absolutely loved." --Charlotte Stein, author of When Grumpy Met SunshinePraise for Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous: "As I knew I would be from the first page, I was immersed in Mae Marvel's Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous. Katie and Wil's journey here--of longing, of self-discovery, of falling in love all over again--is somehow both classic and modern, both vulnerable and strong, both sweetly tender and arrestingly sexy. Gorgeously written, with sentences and phrases so lovingly constructed that they had my heart skipping a beat--Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous is a romance to add to your keeper shelf." - Kate Clayborn, Author of Georgie, All Along "Charming and smart, Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous is a delicious romance about second chances, taking risks, and the beauty that can come from chasing our dreams." - Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care "There is everything to love about this sexy, swoony, huge-hearted, beautiful book. Written with sparkles, sizzles, and the sweetness of apple crisp, Katie and Wil's achingly romantic story is about reaching for the stars and, at the same time, coming home. Mae Marvel delivers friends-to-lovers perfection." - Joanna Lowell, author of The Duke Undone and Artfully Yours
