This story kept me glued to the pages with their drama and had me cheering them on to finding their happiness! I would recommend this book to all my friends and family.

Amber St. Antoine flees Paris and her role in spying on Bonaparte as the deputy chief of police, craves Amber as his mistress & he’ll do anything to achieve this. Godfrey duClare, Lord Ramsey, comes to Paris as part of the British diplomatic mission now that peace exists between his county and France. His first assignment by his superior Kane, Lord Ashley, is to find the elusive agent Amber St. Antoine and keep her safe. Following gossip and logic, Ram finds the stunningly beautiful woman deep in the French countryside. He declares she needs his protection, especially since she refuses to leave France. Defiant, Amber agrees to his company, even if they must pretend they are married. The two travel France, discovering in each other, each day, a delight that leads to a passion neither can deny. Then they find new evidence of Bonaparte’s warlike plans.
The second book in the series & it could be read on its own but to fully appreciate it I’d recommend reading in order. I loved both Ram & Amber, both strong willed, intelligent & brave. The chemistry between them sizzled but they also became friends & partners, as they gradually fell in love. All the time they court being caught as they try to find information about the making & deployment of arms. The pace racks up when they return to Paris & I was on the edge of my seat hoping they would not only be together but would escape as war was declared between England & France. I loved the mix between fact & fiction in this very well researched book & how the author seamlessly meshes them together. An engrossing romance with intrigue, spies & a road trip all against the growing power of Bonaparte
I voluntarily read and reviewed a special copy of this book; all thoughts and opinions are my own

Spying on Bonaparte, Amber realizes that she is soon to be caught and flees Paris. She meets British spy Ram who is immediately attracted to her and suggests they travel together as a couple to avoid detection. Traveling the French countryside they become very comfortable with each other. They dangerously travel back to Paris, exposing themselves to capture, in order to further their cause. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.
