A cool master of sensuality, Rafe Whitbourne, Duke of Candover, earned his rakish reputation in the silken boudoirs of England’s aristocracy, never giving away his hand or his heart. Then a vital mission takes him to Paris to work with Countess Madga Jonos, the most beautiful spy in Europe. To his shock, the smokey eyed temptress is no countess, but the deceitful tart who betrayed him a dozen years before – the only woman he has ever loved, and the only woman he had ever despised. Margot Ashton wants nothing more than to forget her turbulent past and the memerizing man who wronged her. But patriotism binds the two together in a shadowland of intrigue, where a dangerous plot may plunge a continent into war …. and a whirlwind of passion sweeps them into a shattering love that cannot be denied.
I love this book. It has a lot of elements that I like: history, romance and intrigue. It really grips you and you really want to know more. It is also very well written. Mary Jo Putney is slowly becoming one of my favourite writers. It’s such an enjoyable read and one that you could snuggle up with in front of the fire. I would definitely recommend it and I hope you enjoy it.
