This one started off slow for me, but then the pace picked up and I really got involved in an entertaining and original mystery/suspense plot. The hero and heroine were once engaged but broke up, and now he is working for the British government and trying to find the heroine's brother who has been kidnapped. Of course along the way she discovers that he didn't actually betray her as she had thought, which opens the door to them reuniting. In fact I thought his devotion to her was lovely. The heroine and her brother are both very intelligent and the ways he devised to secretly send out messages were very clever. The heroine had some modern attitudes which some may find historically unauthentic, but I thought it was plausible because she is from the merchant class, not the nobility.
This is the first of a new series, and the first Moore book I've read, but I gathered that some characters who made brief appearances were from her previous trilogy. Good character development, there were several secondary characters whose stories I definitely want to read.
