Shannon is grateful that she's become one of Merlin's
Maidens as a female agent for the Crown. Of late, one of
her biggest fears is that she'll be sent back to the
streets from where she was plucked years ago, since she's
gone against academy rules to aid a friend in need. In the
process, Alexandr Orlov, a thief, got away with much sought-
after information, putting the mission her friend was on at
risk. However, Shannon learns that instead of getting
kicked out into the streets, she's being sent on an
extremely dangerous mission; one she's eager to start.
Alexandr has been an agent for the Russian government for
years and lately has been feeling that he's not doing his
best work. He fears that one day his lack of concentration
may get him killed. But his friend and supervisor has
another plan for Alexandr, sending him on an important
assignment that could save many lives. Shannon and Alexandr
are shocked to come face-to-face again during their
missions. Neither are aware that the other is an agent for
their governments, until they are brought together to
protect two children from certain death.
Alexandr soon realizes that he really likes Shannon, even
though she has a tough exterior. But making Shannon see
that the sweet-talking flirt he makes himself out to be is
only a role he's playing will take work. Shannon can't help
falling for Alexandr, but she can't tell for sure if his
behavior is an act. She starts to see the real Alexandr
when he thinks no one is looking, and she realizes Alexandr
has managed to worm his way into her heart. The only
problem is that she loves the excitement and freedom of her
career and is unwilling to give it up.
SEDUCED BY A SPY is an action-packed suspense made even
better with romance. Almost every character is a suspect,
and the process of falling in love and the steps Shannon
and Alexandr take to protect each other, along with the
interaction with the children, is very heartwarming. I
loved this story and highly recommend that you add it to
your must-read list.
They were once orphans from London's roughest slums. Now
they are students of Mrs. Merlin's Academy for Select Young
Ladies, learning the techniques of spying and seduction.
Bold, beautiful, and oh-so-dangerous, they are England's
ultimate secret weapons...
Hot-tempered and a
warrior to the bone, Shannon is the most daring of "Merlin
Maidens." Her assignment: stop the fiendishly cruel assassin
who is targeting a top British ballistics expert's family.
Marshalling her intelligence, fighting skills, and weapons
is easy. Being forced to work with the rakishly handsome
Russian spy she loathes is something else. Witty,
resourceful, and notorious for his rakish charm with women,
Alexandr Orlov tempts Shannon's fierce reserve and lithe
body to win her trust. But in the remote Scottish castle
where they are sent to protect the innocent, their games of
parry and thrust could end in death. A ruthless enemy is
watching...and planning to turn their passion into the most
dangerous weapon of all.
