The fourth novel in her acclaimed Regency historical series "The Lost Lords," this story begins with Grey Sommers, Lord Wyndham, languishing away in a French dungeon because of a not-so-discrete indiscretion with a government official's wife.

Cassie Fox lost everything in the French Revolution and now her passion is to see Napoleon dead and his empire smashed. If that means getting Lord Wyndham out of prison, so be it.

When this ravishing spy releases a man who has languished in his dark cell way too long, you'd think all that would matter to both parties would be a quick exit from enemy territory, but they have a final task to accomplish.

Although they are divided by a seemingly impassable gulf, these two must manage to survive to not only fulfill their mission but also to allow their newfound relationship to blossom in a less hostile environment.

If you enjoy romance literature, this novel will more than keep you amused for a few hours. An accomplished writer, Putney knows how to create characters who hold her reader's attention and a story that never lacks breathtaking action. This is the ideal diversion for a sunny day while soaking up some sun.
