Lady Miranda returned from Italy after an attack by Italian
hill bandits with a bullet wound in her head, which causes
severe blinding headaches. Miranda wishes to return to
Italy and find the man who helped her survive her wounds.
For the first time, she hires a secretary to accompany her,
instead of going alone. Society considers her an oddity for
her independent spirit and her preference to wander through
Europe and publish her travels. Miranda knows having a
handsome and arrogant male secretary with her will not
alter society's opinion of her as a 30-year-old spinster
with no interest in marriage. Before their journey can
begin, a series of sinister accidents occur in Miranda's
household.
Andrew MacLeod is an assassin for the British government
who's given too many years to his profession. Plagued with
hopelessness that his job has robbed him of his humanity,
Andrew reluctantly accepts his last mission -- become
Miranda's secretary and unlock her hidden memory of the
traitor she innocently saw in Italy. Helping him with the
assignment is his assorted family, comprised of spies who
seemingly have no patience for his burnout.
Miranda quickly sees through Andrew's masquerade and joins
him in trying to uncover the spy. As Miranda unlocks
Andrew's mysteries, she falls in love with him. Andrew
admires Miranda's intelligence and struggles to hide the
secret that will turn Miranda's love to hate.
This third book featuring the MacLeods of Skye Court (a
family of spies) grabs readers' attention and doesn't let
go until the end of the book. Ms. Sizemore balances the
intense emotion and passionate, strong characters with
unexpected surprises, suspense and a touching love story.
Lady Miranda Hartwell does not care what society thinks --
and if she wishes to employ a male personal secretary, she
will! Of course it was not her specific intention to hire
one as devastatingly handsome as Andrew "MacGregor." And
she certainly never dreamed she'd be so attracted to this
fiery cauldron of secrets -- who seems oddly, intriguingly
familiar...
Andrew MacLeod is ready to abandon his life as a master
spy, until he is talked into accepting one final
assignment. Protecting the lovely, independent Miranda will
not be easy, for the lady must notice how he is always
there to rescue her from the increasingly
troubling "accidents" in her home. And surely she can feel
the heat of the passion she inspires within him -- which
may prove a fatal distraction, now that he's drawn the
unsuspecting beauty into a most dangerous game...
