They Met at London’s Notorious Cyprian’s Ball . . .

Upon learning that her uncle has promised her in marriage to an aging roué—and that her unknown guardian, Lord Danvers, has approved the match—Georgie Escott vows to thwart their plans in the only way possible—to ruin herself

With a misstep, she tumbles into the arms of the disgraced and dashing Lord Danvers. But Georgie doesn’t know that the lover she has enticed to follow her into the night and the stranger she holds responsible for her misfortunes are in the same . . .

When Lord Danvers find himself entangled with a tempting Cyprian, his secret mission to expose a dangerous spy goes awry. Yet once he starts to unmasked this bewitching lady, he realizes the seductress who claims his heart may be the traitor he seeks. Mistrust makes them adversaries in a perilous game-but how can he dismiss his obsession with her when one night of passion entwines their lives forever?

Set during the Napoleonic wars, this fast-moving intrigue portrays the romance between an English spy and the gutsy daughter of an English spymaster. ….One year after the ball, Colin rescues an English spy from attacking French forces and runs into Georgie, her baby and her sister, Kit, in the midst of the melee. Georgie has been posing as a widow for the past year, but she doesn’t rejoice when Colin hauls her onto his ship, especially when she learns his identity. Instead, she demands to try her luck with the French. Those who have read Boyle’s previous book, Once Tempted, may experience a sense of déjà vu here. The setup is virtually the same: a spy falls in lust with a spirited woman, but each suspects the other of being a traitor. This formulaic offering, however, is saved by Boyle’s intrepid heroine, whose bold and sometimes foolhardy deeds infuse the narrative with humor and suspense. …Publishers Weekley
