Book Description:
Beautiful, level-headed Christina Bower has every reason to avoid Adrien Hunt. He is an earl while she is of common birth - he will never offer marriage. He is a man of intrigue, perhaps playing both sides in a most perilous game. Worst of all, the arrogant, lethally charming rogue revels in his reputation as libertine, unrepentant of the many bedchambers through which he's romped and the many hearts he's broken.

Yet the warmth of his breath on her cheek makes her knees weak-though Adrien would never admit that his pursuit of sensible, lovely Christina goes beyond mere desire alone. Does she dare submit to the irresistible devil's practiced seductions? Does she dare enter Adrien's dangerous world - and if she surrenders to it, will he only break her heart, too?

A little "heavier" reading than her other books, but still good. Drags in the middle a bit but the beginning and end are great. Alot of historical details, 18th century England/France war.

Adrien Hunt is a spy for the English crown during the French Revolution. He is in love with Christina Bower but refuses to acknowledge this even to himself. Christina is in love also and very concerned about Adrien's covert operations. She doesn't know that he is a spy but she's figuring it out from the many clues given inadvertantly.

I enjoyed this book. Christina and Adrien were both very likeable characters. I'm not much on war and whatnot but Judith Ivoy kept to the minimum on the historical details which made it rather enjoyable.

Reliable Ivory story;strong characters,plotkept my interest. When they first meet,he is an agent for the Crown during the French Revolution,she a feisty deb in her first season. Time passes, they connect and then get tangled in the web of a nasty political spider.
