About this ebook

The second novel in the Secrets of the Zodiac, a series of full-length historical romance novels, features darker, sexier storylines, complex characters, and international intrigue, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.
A seductive agent, a disillusioned lord, and a web of deceit only they can untangle…
Sophie Bertrand is skilled in acting, espionage, and the subtle art of seduction. An independent spirit, she fought her way from rough streets to the top secret circle of spies known as the Zodiac. Her newest assignment is one of her most delicate yet: hunt down a traitor within Britain's own government. But there's a catch…this time she can't work alone.
Bruce Allander has a title, honor, wealth...but he'd trade it all to restore his family. The Zodiac gives him a chance for justice in a world that's already taken too much from him. Now he finds himself close to this captivating Frenchwoman—possibly too close. Sophie defies all his expectations, yet in her he senses a kindred soul.
Passion draws the two together, but a web of betrayals threatens to tear them apart. To survive, they have to trust each other. They have to be a little reckless…

I'm an avid fan of Regency novels, and although this book is anachronistic in many places, the two protagonists are utterly compelling. The heroine is an interesting twist on the usual virginal love interest, and the hero is flawed but very sympathetic. I had never read anything by this author before, and started reading this book a bit skeptically, but found myself completely hooked as the plot unfurled. There is a psychological darkness here that is deeper than in many historical romance novels, reminding me of some of Jayne Ann Krentz's early books. Kudos to this writer for trying something outside the normal mold for this genre. I would happily read another of her books!

Loved that the main gal was a badass. And loved the romance in it so passionate and very sweet. Really good read!
