Sebastian Leatham wondered for a moment if he had died and
gone to heaven when the most beautiful woman he had ever
seen stood right before him: Lady Clarissa Beaumont, Dr. Joe
Warriner's sister-in-law. Seb, a spy, had been shot and is
recovering from his wounds at Dr. Warriner's home, brother
to his King's Elite colleague Jake Warriner. Seb is not the
most loquacious of men, Clarissa not usually the most
charitable, but she is curious of Seb, but they talk and
soon realize that they can help each other: she wants to
marry a duke, he is looking for a traitor amidst the
aristocracy...
Historical spy novels seem to be a dime a dozen these days,
but THE MYSTERIOUS LORD MILLCROFT is in a class by itself,
mostly because it comes from the pen of the obscenely
talented Virginia Heath. Ms. Heath's immense skills at
creating multi-dimensional characters shine in this
delightful story of these two unlikely lovers. Seb is a
perfect spy, he oozes confidence in his profession but is
utterly useless around women, and if that isn't a novel
idea in Romancelandia, I don't know what is. Clarissa is
beauty and self-assuredness personified, but behind her
blindingly exquisite exterior, she hides a painful secret.
THE MYSTERIOUS LORD MILLCROFT is a stunning novel, a perfect
combination of spying and romance, filled with surprises and
fabulous turns of events, and engaging protagonists that
will hold you captive for the duration of their
extraordinary voyage. The world of The
King's Elite seems entirely plausible; the romance
is exquisite; the writing breathtakingly gorgeous and witty;
the dialogues are splendid, and every character
magnificently fleshed out. As for the title, it is one of
the most ingenious plot twists I have ever read. THE
MYSTERIOUS LORD MILLCROFT is the first dazzling installment
in what promises to be another stellar series for wordsmith
extraordinaire Virginia Heath.
