Lady Daphne Swift comes from a family with two brothers who have proudly served the Crown. She may be a female, but she's willing to do whatever it takes to prove that she's as useful to the war effort as her brothers. She even went so far as to secretly marry a spy. The fact that she just happened to have been pining for Captain Rafe Cavendish for years didn't hurt matters. But after their first mission, when she realized their marriage had been strictly business, Daphne immediately wanted an annulment. The fiery Daphne has always been a multi-tasker and now she's hell bent on two things: finding the men who killed her brother and securing her engagement to another man to forget about Rafe forever.
As a spy for the War Office, Captain Rafferty Cavendish has been on dozens of missions. But one mission haunts him, the mission that resulted in the death of Daphne Swift's eldest brother, Donald. Rafe agreed to work with Daphne once and put her life in danger. Now he must find the men who killed Donald, avenge the family, and convince Daphne to give him one more chance. But Daphne's enlisted her other older brother, Julian, to help her get a quick and quiet annulment so that she can marry a fop who only wants her for her title and money. Can Rafe convince Daphne to give him one more chance, on the mission and with her heart?
Daphne is getting ready for her engagement ball. The man she has picked out has all her requirements. There is only one person that might spoil it for her. Her husband.
Rafe Cavendish has come to take his cabin boy (wife) on another mission for the crown. Her knowledge of Russian is why he needs her. Or is it?

I won't tell you any more about the story line behind this, because I don't want to spoil it for you. Although this is part of a series, and you might have learned about the meeting of this book's protagonists in a previous story, it is still very enjoyable as a stand alone. I personally love to read this type of series in order. Because the family make up can give away final endings, if not the stories.
Our hero is an army captain working as a spy. Our heroine part of an aristocratic family who have made many sacrifices in service to the Crown.
I loved every exciting page. It is a very difficult book to put down. And the introduction at the very end, of a fabulous new character ensures we have more to come.
