Code Word Romance: A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud and escapist romcom with the perfect book boyfriend

Description

'If you read any book in 2025 then please let it be this! Dreamy!' 5* Reader Review

With enemies-to-lovers, fake-dating and undercover agents, Code Word Romance is an escapist romcom that is Red, White and Royal Blue meets The Lizzie McGuire Movie. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Katherine Center.

Rule number one: don't fall in love with your bodyguard

Max is just your average girl. She works odd jobs, has a soul-crushing amount of debt and just happens to have an uncanny resemblance to Europe's youngest female prime minister, Sofia Christensen . . .

So when the prime minister receives a credible death threat, the CIA approaches Max with a deal: a life-changing amount of money if she pretends to be Sofia on the prime minister's annual Italian trip.

It would be a dream if it weren't for those pesky assassins and Flynn, Max's ridiculously hot handler - the man who broke her heart years and years ago.

With her life now on the line, Max knows she has no choice but to lose herself in the role. But losing her heart to Flynn again? Now that's a risk that she isn't willing to take...

Tropes:
· Second chance
· Only one room
