Published in 2004, this is the 3rd book in the Bastion Club Novels. One thing I like about this series is that so far, you can read the books in any order.
Stephanie Laurens is always enjoyable.
This book has an interesting, fairly complex plot. It is easy to identify with the main characters in the book. The love scenes are driven by emotions, rather than techniques.

Third in series. Good read

The third book in the Bastion Club series about Charles St Austell using his seductive charms on Lady Penelope Selborne, neighbor and ex-lover. While their romance is playing out, Charles uncovers a spy network and unmasked an assassin intent on killing all Selbornes, including his future wife.

A Bastion Club novel. Charles St. Austell meets his match in a wild ride of lost love refound, family secrets, spies, murder & mayhem.

Welcome back to the Bastion Club, as our next ex-secret hero meets his match in a wild ride of lost love refound, family secrets, spies, murder, and mayhem.
Impatient to find his bride-to-be yet appalled by the demands of the ton, Charles St. Austell leaps at the chance to help his ex-commander Dalziel by investigating rumors of spies operating via smuggling gangs near Charles’s Cornwall home. The first strange thing Charles discovers is Lady Penelope Selborne, neighbor and ex-lover, marching through his house after midnight. Years ago, Charles and Penny shared one fabulously, passionate interlude, but ever since, she’s managed to avoid him. Now Charles uncovers a web of Selborne family secrets and a spy network others are also searching for—and trapped in the middle is Penny, the one he had never ceased wanting for his own.
But twist follows twist and nothing is what it seemed—Charles has his hands full unraveling the truth about the spying, unmasking an assassin intent on killing all Selbornes, including Penny, while simultaneously convincing that independent lady that she and only she will do for him—and he for her.

Restormel Abbey
Lostwithiel, Cornwall
April 1816

CRACK!

A log shattered in the grate; sparks sizzled and flew. Flames leapt, sending fingers of light playing over the leather spines lining the library walls.

Charles St. Austell, Earl of Lostwithiel, lifted his head from the padded depths of his armchair and checked that no embers had reached the shaggy pelts of his wolfhounds, Cassius and Brutus. Slumped in hairy mounds at his booted feet, neither hound twitched; neither was smoldering. Lips easing, Charles let his head loll back on the well-worn leather; raising the glass in his hand, he sipped, and returned to his cogitations. Chapter 1.

TO BE READ

Romance novel.

My son chewed the corner of the book somewhat. He didn't get as far as the words so you can still read it all.

Love the Bastion Club Series ... this is the 3rd book in the series.
