Devilishly handsome and absolutely fearless, Nate Avery is in
London on an important mission--and paired with an English spy, who
is meant to watch him as much as aid him. But much to his surprise,
that spy turns out to be an alluring and enigmatic temptress.
Original.
He'd never been shot by a woman . . .
He was once a distinguished army officer, a man of honor and
heroism. But that was before Alexander Hayes was wrongly accused of
treason. Forced to abandon everything he held dear, Alec became a
spy for England in an attempt to clear his name. His latest
commission sounds simple: locate a retired soldier gone missing.
But it also sends him back home, to a family who'd thought him
deadfor five years--and a woman who'd like to shoot him.
Everything Cressida Turner's ever heard about Alec tells her
that he's a traitor of the worst kind, and yet this enigmatic,
infuriating, and utterly captivating man may be the only person she
can trust--and the only one who can find her missing father. With
nowhere else to turn, she reluctantly joins forces with Alec,
unprepared for both the dangerous secrets that threaten them and
the relentless passion that drives them into each other's arms.
