Family secrets and nasty newspapers has Winter desperate to re-enter the secret world. And it's not long before he gets his chance.

Sydney is back, and this time the mission goes right to the heart of the United States of America. A rescue gone wrong, an assassination attempt - and the return of an old flame - puts Winter right back into the action . . . and into a country on the brink of chaos.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

A year has passed since Winter and Sydney last saw one another. A year of thinking about the other constantly but knowing there was nothing they could do. They can’t be together. Winter is still a very famous pop star and Sydney is an undercover agent. But their paths are about to cross once more when Sydney lands a new mission that requires Winter’s help. A mission that perhaps is even more dangerous and the outcome catastrophic if they fail. The pull between them is still as strong as it was the last time they saw one another and with everything that happens on this latest mission… maybe just maybe they can find a way back to one another. I really enjoyed another story about Winter and Sydney! They have great chemistry and I love learning more about them. It was fun being back in this world and also seeing some cameos of those in the Warcross series. I will say some plot points were a little predictable but there were definitely still moments that took you by surprise. I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more stories in this world and with Sydney’s agency. I’m sad to see Winter and Sydney’s story finished!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
