I thoroughly enjoyed this book about a spirited young woman (Tessa) in Napoleon-era France (then England) and her interesting and often stormy relationship with a man who is appointed to maintain her safety. I enjoyed how they marry for convenience and safety and their love develops later. The mystery in the background of the story, which provides the tension and keeps Tessa in danger, was interesting, and a different twist for a romance. It wasn't clear to me if this book was part of a series or an independent title, but it stood well on its own. I will definitely be looking for more by this author. She has a good touch with characters and with keeping things unique, interesting, and believable.
