Elite spies, secret defenders of the king, The Royal Four are unsurpassed in courage, honor, and daring. Known to his brothers-in-arms as The Falcon, Lord Wyndham is the most secretive and aloof of the four. But when The Falcon meets the impetuous Lady Alicia, he discovers a soul mate whose hidden fire matches his ownโฆ
Lady Alicia Lawrence was cast out of polite society and branded a liar for a youthful mistake. When she overhears details of a conspiracy that could affect her countryโs fate, she turns to the one person who might believe herโStanton Horne, Lord Wyndham. Posing as Wyndhamโs mistress in order to root out the enemy, Alicia is drawn into an uneasy partnershipโฆand a wildly seductive liaison.
Lord Wyndhamโs uncanny ability to detect lies has made him a valuable member of the Royal Four, but in matters of romance it has proven a distinct liability. Alicia is the only woman whose thoughts he cannot readโฆand the only one whose sensual touch quenches every secret desire. As the mission grows more dangerous and more personal, and each encounter with Alicia more fiery than the last, this daring spy must face his greatest challenge yetโlearn to trust the passion in his heartโฆ
