Mr. Nice Spy
by Tiana Smith
Book 2 in My Spy
A fireworks designer finds out her birth father is a wanted criminal, gets kidnapped with the CIA agent she was flirting with, and has to fake-date him long enough to survive the villain lair. It is silly in exactly the spy-movie way, but Chan and Andee make the sweetness work.
