Susannah Makepeace's life consists of balls, gorgeous
dresses and a fiancé. She's the talk of the ton and
beneath that exterior is a girl ready for her new life as a
wife. That is until her father dies and leaves her
penniless.
Susannah soon finds herself living in the small village of
Barnstable with a widowed aunt who's offered her a place to
live. During a morning walk, Susannah discovers a man
swimming in a pond, naked, and she sketches every last bit
of him.
Finding a woman looking at him is hardly a shock for the
swimming viscount. It's the drawings that surprise him.
When he meets Susannah at a ball the next night, Viscount
Kit Whitelaw asks her to do sketches for a folio he must
have completed before the month is through. But Kit harbors
a secret -- he's a spy for His Majesty's secret service.
As it turns out, someone wants Susannah dead. While
together, Kit manages to keep his spy skills in tune and
saves Susannah's life more than once. After some
investigating, there seems to be something more to this
young woman, and Kit is determined to find out what that is.
This is a lovely romance that kept me engaged from the
beginning. It isn't your typical romance where they fall in
love, they break up, but then have a happy ending. BEAUTY
AND THE SPY is filled with surprising compatibility and an
extraordinary amount of luck. There are major sparks
between the main characters, and I enjoyed seeing that
there was no big misunderstanding. Ms. Long has created an
excellent blend of mystery and romance that's perfect
reading.
SHOCKING!
London’s belle of the ball, Susannah Makepeace, is the last
person who should suddenly be stuck in the sleepy village
of Barnstable. In town, she would never have seen a man
swimming naked in a pond. And she certainly would have
resisted the urge to draw every single bit of him in
astonishing detail!
SIZZLING! Very few people know that Viscount Kit
Whitelaw is the best spy in His Majesty’s secret service.
But his high-flying life has finally banished him from
London. Not to worry—if Susannah’s erotic sketches are any
indication of her nature, she’ll be a delicious stand-in
for the thrill of espionage.
SCANDALOUS! When odd accidents follow in Susannah’s
wake, Kit’s spy senses start tingling. For what better
mystery is there for England’s greatest spy than the
secrets of the delectable puzzle that is Susannah?
