and Cupid’s arrowin an electric new series 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.

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 . . .
