Lady Olivia Cheltenham knows her family's finances are
shaky, but not until her mother pushes her into the Thames
to gain an eligible bachelor's attention, does she realize
they're destitute. Her mother's plan works to some extent,
except that Olivia saves the gentleman from drowning. In
his gratitude, Olivia does get a proposal and now finds
herself wed to a man resembling a Viking God. Having never
expected to wed due to her unfashionable buxom and
curvaceous size coupled with her lack of decorum, Olivia
possesses none of a coquette's demeanor. Instead, she has a
straightforward manner and her husband's secretive ways are
driving her crazy. Never one to accept fate, Olivia is
determined to uncover his mysterious goings-on.
Dane, Lord Greenleigh, is the spy known as the Lion. He
finds Olivia to be the perfect match. His father was driven
to suicide after a seductive woman lured him into betraying
his country. Dane will not allow a woman to cloud his
judgment. His work for the government takes precedence over
everything. Dane will allow no woman to destroy him. Olivia
should be thrilled he married her and with her
practicality, she'll only expect a society marriage of
distance and civility. Satisfied with the way his life is
progressing, Dane sets out to uncover the infamous spy
who's determined to bring England to her knees.
Dane's life turns upside down as Olivia invades every part
of it. Trying to keep her at arm's length, Dane tries to
halt his emerging feelings for her. Persistent to a fault,
Olivia continues her assault even as she realizes someone
is sabotaging their relationship. Olivia cannot win unless
Dane decides to have faith and trust her.
SURRENDER TO A WICKED SPY continues Bradley's excellent
series. She successfully combines taut suspense with a
wicked sense of humor. Well-written and fast paced, this
very sensual tale will keep readers up late into the
night.
They are known simply as The Royal Four—but there’s
nothing simple about the elite band of spies who serve the
King in secrecy. Their missions are dangerous, their love
lives are scandalous…and each man in the Royal Four has
his
own secrets. This is the story of the spy known as The
Lion…
SURRENDER TO A WICKED SPY
Olivia Calwell’s new husband,
Dane, is everything she could have ever hoped for in a
man.
The handsome Lord Greenleigh is charming, debonair, even a
bit mysterious…and just thinking of their wedding night
makes Olivia blush with pleasure. Yet she can’t help but
wonder what exactly Dane does all day. His hushed meetings
with strangers, his odd comings and goings—it is all
enough
to drive Olivia mad! Could her beloved husband be involved
in something dangerous? Could he even be spying for France?
Spy Dane Calwell knows the new Lady Greenleigh is poised,
well educated, and utterly captivating. But he’s just
discovered that Olivia is also the most curious creature
he
has ever met! Most wives don’t give a whit what their
husbands do all day. Why must Olivia ask so many questions—
and meddle in matters that do not concern her? Truth be
told, Dane finds Olivia’s amateur sleuthing enchanting…
even
a little sexy. But when Olivia gets too close to the
mission at hand, Dane must try to stop her before it’s too
late—or risk losing his beautiful wife forever…
