Romance Historical

Spymaster Ethan Gray, known as the Wolf, has been partnered with Maris Winter, a spy who goes by the name Raven. They are to appear as a married couple to attend an auction in order to purchase a shipment of arms. Of course, Ethan is unhappy to be working not only with a partner, but with a woman. And Maris isn't any more pleased than him. While they are working together, Ethan has a hard time trusting Maris because of a past acquaintance. Maris, on the other hand, loves England, but is keeping something and someone from Ethan. In the meantime Ethan is falling hard for Maris. Once her secret is revealed, will his love for her be strong enough to forgive her? WOLF'S TEMPTATION is a great mystery and romance. Once I started this book, I could not put it down. It's beautifully written with style and grace. I'm anxiously hoping that Ms. Birdsell will write more stories about the dangerous world of British spies in Georgian England.

SUMMARY

Out to prove he hasn’t lost his edge, spymaster Ethan Gray — known as the Wolf — is on the hunt for a smuggler shipping arms to colonial rebels in America. Instead, he finds himself frustrated at every turn by a mysterious woman whom he can only recognize by the scent she leaves behind... Maris Winter, a spy who goes by the name Raven, has spent her life admiring Ethan Gray — the brave, dashing rake who once risked his life to try to save her father’s. But when she’s assigned to work closely with him, he turns from champion to rival. For it is of utmost importance that she protect the very man the Wolf is stalking, even if it means betraying her new partner and her country. But it isn’t long before she is forced to decide if her loyalty lies with her past—or with the man who has stolen her heart...
