When the intriguing Comte d’Esmond enters a room, women
swoon and men gnash their teeth. The count is fully
accustomed to this reaction--and brilliant at exploiting
it. What he isn’t prepared for is Leila Beaumont. One look
from her tawny eyes is dangerously captivating. How…
troublesome. Esmond can’t afford the distraction of an
entanglement, however passionate it promises to be. He’s
supposed to be working-- for the British government! --and
his employers want Leila’s corrupt and treacherous husband
brought to justice. When the spouse, unsurprisingly and
conveniently, gets himself murdered, all Esmond has to do
is clear Leila of suspicion and proceed to the next
assignment.
But not being hanged for her husband’s murder isn’t enough
for Leila. She wants to learn the truth—all of it—from
Esmond, a man who’s been lying all his life.
