Alexander Douglass, the Marquess of Brackley, will stop at nothing to capture Monsieur V., the spy who tore his family apart. But when Lucy Graylocke keeps getting in his way, he has to wonder what she's after. She is, after all, the sister of one of the most influential spymasters in England. Alex knows Lucy’s brothers would never let her get involved in espionage so he fears Lucy doesn’t know what she is getting herself into. It’s up to Alex to make sure she doesn’t get hurt. Luckily, keeping an eye on the raven-haired beauty will not be a hardship.
But just when Lucy gets close to discovering the identity of the spy, a heart-wrenching disaster throws her world off kilter and Alex is forced to choose between the revenge he’s desperately sought for years and his love for Lucy.
