After twelve years away as one of the Crown's most dangerous spies, Henry Lake returns to London on a mission to find the legendary French Blue diamond—only to come face-to-face with the one woman he never stopped loving. Lady Caroline has built a careful, guarded life for herself since her disastrous first marriage taught her that desire only leads to heartbreak, and she's absolutely certain she can keep her defenses up against Henry's seductive charm. But when a thrilling mystery and electric chemistry pull them together once more, Caroline discovers that some risks are worth taking, and some loves are worth the danger. Perfect for readers who swoon over witty banter, high-stakes espionage, and second-chance romance set against the glamorous backdrop of Regency London!
