The dashing and handsome American, Nate Avery, who's an
English spy, arrives in London on a mission. He is charged
with retrieving a fortune in jewels stolen from the
assistant to the Deputy Collector of Port of New York and
to return with the thieving scoundrel. Gaining help from
the British government, an enigmatic and petite temptress
was not who he expected to be paired with. Angelique
Martland is a sexy, riveting, albeit dangerous spy.
Together, their battle of wits develops into something
entirely different than expected.
Nate is unaware that there are ulterior motives for
Angelique's help, and knows she holds a secret concerning
her true goal as they pose as husband and wife. The devious
search for Jacob Dixon becomes dangerous with secret
plotting and conniving to place their plan in order to
achieve his capture. Feathers are ruffled and Nate and
Angelique are held at odds with their mutual assignment
even as they find hot sex in each other's arms. Drugged by
their love, schemes and plots are devised to promote
Angelique's death in order to ascertain her release from
the position of assassin.
This exciting read kept me on the edge of my seat with all
the fantastic and imaginative schemes. Fast-paced
throughout, this story holds an abundance of mystery,
sorrow and their dedication to individual beliefs.
Caroline Linden has created an extremely wonderful
adventure while still maintaining warm and loving
characters.

lifetime passion that ignites between them…
