Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy is the sequel to the novel I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by the author Ally Carter. It chronicles the second semester of main character Cameron Morgan's sophomore year at The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. The previous semester was filled with lies and adventure as Cammie (affectionately nicknamed "Chameleon" by her friends) juggles her tough Covert Operations classes and has her first normal teenage experience dating a boy outside the spy sphere. In this semester, under the advice of her mother and headmistress, Cammie resolves to be more of herself instead of trying to live the life of someone she's not by telling lies. The girls are thrown into adventure as they unravel the secret of a spy school for boys named the Blackthorne Institute for Boys. The novel tells of her struggle to get over Josh, to believe in herself and figure out the new boy she might be in love with.

Despite Cammie's best intentions to be a normal student, danger seems to follow her.She and her best friends learn that their school is going to play host to some mysterious guests--code name: "Blackthorne. Then she's blamed for a security breach that leaves the school's top-secret status at risk. Soon Cammie and her friends are crawling through walls and surveilling the school to learn the truth about Blackthorne and clear Cammie's name.
