Games can be deadly. Eighteen-year-old Savvy Bent expects fireworks on her first date with Malcolm - in Paris! Except over a picnic of sparkling cider and strawberry tarts, a sniper shoots at them.

From the top of the Eiffel Tower to the depths of the catacombs, Savvy must sneak, deceive, and spy to save her family and friends and figure out whether Malcolm is one of the bad guys before she completely falls for him.

In Greece, Savvy meets up with him in the most awkward reunion ever…and almost gets him killed. Fail one. Her mom gives her one easy spy mission, one chance to prove she’s ready, except she breaks the rules - for good reason, of course - and the mission implodes. Fail two. To prove her worth, Savvy lies to her mom and boyfriend and strikes a dangerous deal with Malcolm’s family... moreSecrets can be deadly.
