Grey Sommers, Lord Wyndham, never met a predicament he couldn't charm his way out of. Then a tryst with a government official's wife during a bit of casual espionage in France condemns him to a decade in a dungeon, leaving him a shadow of his former self. Yet his greatest challenge may be the enigmatic spy sent to free his body, the only woman who might heal his soul. Cassie Fox lost everything in the chaos of revolution, leaving only a determination to help destroy Napoleon's empire through her perilous calling. Rescuing Grey is merely one more mission. But a spy and a lord are divided by an impassable gulf even if they manage to survive one last, terrifying mission.

I am SO impressed by this novel. Mary Jo Putney is one of the few romance writers that hooks me so deeply in her stories that I can't stop thinking about the heroes and heroines of the tale. This is no exception. What impressed me was Cassie - how strong and capable she is, and how she never lets her tragic past weigh her down. She's an experienced woman; not the usual virginal misses of this genre, and is a wonderful complement to our tortured hero.
