On one final mission for the Crown, David Donally is
hunting for a missing treasure. His only clue is a
dazzling, gem-encrusted earring, and it is leading him to
the most desirable woman he has ever known...an enchanting
thief he once seduced and betrayed in the name of
duty...an exquisite lover he'd believed was dead...his
wife!
Meg Faraday thought her former life was behind her --
until the night the treacherous husband she'd eluded
suddenly appeared. By rights she should despise the
handsome spy who had captured her heart, then shattered
it. But the fire between them still burns, and what was
once an irresistible passion has now become a dangerous
game of betrayal...
