A fallen lady, a tortured lord, and an undeniable attraction...

Royce Holmes, the new Earl of Pelham, is also an agent for the Zodiac, England's elite spy ring. He's on the trail of a devious forger whose false documents have caused havoc in Britain's war against Napoleon.

Royce and Tamsin have a lot more in common than they ever expected, and day after day, they find themselves drawn together in the chase for a vicious spy. Night by night, they try to deny the attraction between them. But passion cannot be denied forever, and in the darkness, secrets will be exposed...
