The third book in the darkly romantic Gentleman Spy Mysteries.
Eliza Broad has overcome trauma and loss to become the confident woman
and spy she is today. Allen Strathem, fellow spy and good friend, has
loved Eliza since the moment he first set eyes on her. But he left
England without telling her so, bound for a mission on the Crimea with
his secret buried deep.
When he returns, Eliza is tasked with helping Allen recover from the
horrors he has experienced, and she dedicates herself to banishing the
specters of his Russian captivity and restoring the sparkle in his eyes.
As Allen recuperates, they realize danger has followed him back to
England. Together, they set a trap for the man who tortured him, only to
discover something far more menacing afoot. With danger and intrigue
around every corner, Eliza and Allen rely on and trust each other, and
soon their once-buried love becomes a driving force. The perilous
adventure they share and thrive on binds them together, but will that be
enough to protect them from those who wish to see them dead?
