The Wicked Spy - Mary Lancaster - Bog

Can her enemy melt her cold heart? Lady Anna Gaunt comes to Blackhaven on a government commission - to free a French prisoner of war, thought to be Napoleon's spymaster, Colonel Delon, and learn his secrets. But Anna has to find him first, for the enterprising prisoner has freed himself and clearly has an agenda of his own to be played out in Blackhaven. Louis, betrayed, vengeful, and yet stubbornly loyal, is an enigma. He seems more interested in Anna's personal secrets than those of his own country, and their war of words and information quickly becomes one of seduction. But with the stakes so high, neither can afford to lose. Distractions such as highway robbery, elopement, and mysterious secret meetings can only unite them for a short time. For love is surely their common enemy, and any lasting relationship impossible....
