About this book
An Instant New York Times bestseller!
He's a secret.
She's an agent.
This mission might just be impossible.
A smoldering enemies-to-lovers novel about a global superstar and a hotshot young spy on a collision course with danger―and romance. This electric new series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu is perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Ally Carter.
Meet Winter Young—A global pop sensation, with a voice like velvet and looks that could kill.
Meet Sydney Cossette—An agent in an elite covert ops group, and an ice queen whose moves are as dangerous as her comebacks.
When a major crime boss gifts his daughter a private Winter Young concert for her birthday, Sydney’s and Winter’s lives suddenly collide. To stop an international disaster, the two must infiltrate the organization’s inner
circle, with Sydney posing as Winter’s bodyguard and Winter tapped to join her as a new spy recruit. Sydney may be the only person impervious to Winter’s charms, but as their mission brings them closer, she’s forced to
admit that there’s more to Winter Young than just a handsome face . . .
Romance and danger abound in Stars and Smoke, a “brilliant, breathtaking ride that will leave you clamoring for the sequel.” — Tahereh Mafi, #1 internationally bestselling author of Shatter Me.
