Honoria Blake knows she must have had a moment of madness
when she accepted a summons by the Scarlet Pimpernel to
travel to revolutionary Paris and help his League. She’s an
expert forger and glad her services can be of use, but the
violence of the Reign of Terror has her longing for her
quiet, unobtrusive life in London. Then a bloody man
staggers to the door of the house where she’s hiding,
claiming he was sent by the Pimpernel. Recently escaped
from
La Force prison, the former Marquis de Montagne is sinfully
handsome and charming. He’s also desperate enough to kidnap
Honoria. So much for her return to the quiet life.
Can be a beast…
Laurent is a consummate rake, but even he is captivated by
the beautiful Honoria. Laurent cares almost nothing for his
own life, but he was always close to the royal family and
the little princess was like a sister to him. He will risk
everything to save her from a life of imprisonment and
possible execution. His plan is risky and surely doomed,
but
if he can convince Honoria and the League of the Scarlet
Pimpernel to help him, it just might succeed. The only
question is how far he’s willing to go and whether he’s
willing to risk the life of the only woman he’s ever loved
to save a doomed princess.
