Benjamin Ripley isn't your average sixteen-year-old spy school recruit. As the grandson of legendary spy Theodore Ripley, Ben has been trained in espionage since he was two years old. When he arrives at the CIA Academy of Espionage, he's not the awkward newbie-he's a force to be reckoned with. Muscular, skilled, and devastatingly competent, Ben catches everyone's attention, especially that of Erica Hale, the academy's infamous Ice Queen and the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. But Ben's arrival coincides with something far more sinister. His grandfather has discovered SPYDER-a ruthless international crime organization-has stolen a tactical nuclear warhead and plans to detonate it in Washington D.C. during the State of the Union address. With millions of lives at stake and a mole inside the CIA, Ben and Erica must form an unlikely partnership to stop the attack. As they race against time through dangerous missions, intense firefights, and impossible odds, the walls around Erica's heart begin to crumble. When they face what they believe are their final moments together in front of a ticking nuclear bomb, they're forced to confront not just the threat of annihilation-but their feelings for each other. With only minutes to spare, two detonation codes to crack, and SPYDER agents hunting them through a Philadelphia warehouse, Ben and Erica must trust each other completely. Because if they fail, it's not just their lives on the line-it's the entire Eastern seaboard. Action. Espionage. Romance. And a nuclear countdown that won't stop.

A twist on the typical aged-up story: Erica Hale is sent undercover to a French arms syndicate where she meets a handsome bodyguard. Reminded of a friend she lost long ago, she must decide whether to give in and uncover the mystery of Augustine Dupont or to keep her distance.

this book is inspired by Revo Academy's oneshots book but here's a discription: Ben Ripley is presumed dead by the CIA leaving everyone broken but when Erica Hale goes to the place where Ben supposedly died she finds signs of a survivor... okay that's it hope you enjoy!!!

Five years ago, Ben Ripley vanished during a covert Arctic mission gone wrong. The world - and Spy School - believed he was dead. Everyone except Erica Hale. Despite the evidence, Erica never accepted Ben's death. Her instincts - and her heart - told her he was still out there. She was right. After being ambushed and kidnapped by a secret coalition of their old enemies, Ben managed to escape - wounded, alone, and forced to disappear. Weeks later, through an encrypted channel known only to the two of them, Ben reached out to Erica one last time. He told her the truth: the ambush had been a setup to remove him from the picture, paving the way for a new global operation years in the making. To stop it, Ben would have to vanish completely. With Erica's reluctant blessing, Ben fled across the world to Japan, where he assumed a new identity with the help of Jessica Shang, an unlikely ally who gave him shelter and a cover life. Hidden from every intelligence network, Ben was soon drawn into the shadows - recruited by a secret organization that trained him to become one of the most skilled covert operatives alive. Five years later, Ben Ripley is no longer the awkward kid who tripped through Spy School missions. He's taller, colder, fluent in six languages, and scarred inside and out - a master of survival shaped by silence and regret. But when he discovers that the same organization that hunted him now has its sights set on Erica Hale, Ben must step out of the shadows and face his past. Because some missions never end. And some connections can't be erased - no matter how long you've been gone.

Can Ben save the world AND figure out his feelings? Or will SPYDER's mastermind Murray Hill destroy everything Ben cares about? Action. Humor. Romance. Explosions. And one very awkward teenage spy trying his best. First book in the Spy School series. Perfect for fans of Stuart Gibbs' Spy School books!

"I sighed and put my head in my hands. I told her everything. I told her everything about my dream. I told her about how we had kissed there. I told her about how we had defeated SPYDER. I told her how I woke up. I told her about my fear of waking up and my parents not knowing what I was talking about. I entailed my terror of seeing people who had died in the dream. I told her about my shock of seeing her in my classroom, and her not knowing me. The heartbreak of seeing her with Joshua because I knew it wouldn't end well and I was still in love with her. The feeling of foreboding. The moles. The sacrifices. Death. Everything I thought I had experienced. I continued up until this point. I told her about Experiment Aucipis. I told her that I was in danger of the syndicate finding out and coming to kill me. I couldn't let anyone get near me unless they could protect themselves."
