Miss Amelia Bonnington has been in love with her childhood hero since she was
eleven years old… or so she thought until a not-so proper impassioned and
unyielding kiss from the not-so honorable and equally disreputable Lord
Derrick Brinsley, gave her reason to question the feelings of the heart.
Lord Brinsley, shunned from society for running off with his brother’s
fiancée, hasn’t cared about or questioned his lack of acceptance until
meeting the beguiling Amelia Bonnington. One passionate moment with the fiery
Miss Bonnington has him more than willing to play by society’s rules to
possess the breathtaking, red-haired woman.
Amelia unwittingly becomes embroiled in espionage when she stumbles upon a
smuggling ring in the modiste shop of her good friend. To prove her French
friend’s innocence, she dangerously jumps into the fray, jeopardizing more
than her life.
On undercover assignment to prevent the French from stealing the Royal Navy’s
deadly weapon, Derrick must fight to protect British secrets from falling
into the hands of foreign agents, and the chance at love with the only woman
capable of redeeming him.
