Does love truly triumph over all ~ even age difference and a war-torn country's alliances? The lovely and elegant Lady Philippa Fleming with her quiet courage, complexity of mind, and vast experience works undercover to assure the independence of the newly established Macedonia. Former British Secret Service agent Giles Hayes-David possesses a young god's face and an extraordinary male physique, honed by those sports that build the kind of long, ropy muscles that make a couturier purr. But the older Philippa will not allow herself to fall for him ~ especially not with the undermining suspicion of both patriotic and personal betrayal as rampant as the chemistry sparking between them.
