SummaryEngland, 1770. Beneath the silk and lace of London
society lies a secret, elite organization of spies.
Protecting the Crown from its enemies is hazardous, but for
Marcus Ashford, protecting his heart from an unyielding
passion is the far greater peril...
A MATTER OF DANGEROUS INTRIGUE...
As an agent to the Crown, Marcus Ashford, the Earl of
Westfield, has fought numerous sword fights, been shot
twice, and dodged more than any man's fair share of cannon
fire. And yet nothing excites him more than the primitive
hunger his former fiancé, Elizabeth, arouses. Years ago,
she'd jilted him for the boyishly charming Lord Hawthorne.
But now, the elegant widow is his to defend, and he will do
so while tending to her other, more carnal needs, showing
her the depth of a real man's desire...
...AND UNDENIABLE PLEASURE
Dangerous secrets led to the murder of Lady Hawthorne's
husband. Secrets she now holds in a diary many would kill to
obtain. But to entrust herself to the protection of the most
seductive man she's ever known? Outrageous. Unthinkable.
Irresistible. For it was Marcus's strong passions and
burning desire that frightened her into abandoning him years
ago—and her answering craving has never waned. Now, he
means to be at her service, in every sense. And perhaps the
only sensible course isn't to resist temptation, but to
surrender to it completely...
