Lady Gemma Barton needs to persuade her best friend to marry her before her father marries her off to an old man. The problem is her friend doesn't love her that way and is about to leave for the war.
Mr Burke Nicholson works as a spy for the British . He and his partner are in very perilous conditions.
This is a very exciting story, full of danger and intrigue. Working as a spy is always dangerous, but could it be even more so in London than on the continent?? Our brave and very clever heroine is nothing like the Lady most of the "ton" believe her to be. Our roguish hero has given a lot for his country's war effort. Has he got the strength to give more??
Although this is part of a series you can easily read it on it's own. You will meet some characters from the previous book but not enough to spoil it if you haven't read it yet.
I loved every page.
Alexa Aston’s historical romances use history as a backdrop to place her characters in extraordinary circumstances, where their intense desire for one another grows into the treasured gift of love.
She is the author of The Knights of Honor, a medieval romance series that takes place in 14th century England during the reign of Edward III and centers on the de Montfort family. Each romance focuses on the code of chivalry that bound knights of this era.
A native Texan, Alexa lives with her husband in a Dallas suburb, where she eats her fair share of dark chocolate and plots out stories while she walks every morning. She enjoys reading, watching movies, and can’t get enough of Fixer Upper or Game of Thrones. Alexa also writes romantic suspense, western historical, and standalone medieval novels as Lauren Linwood.
