| The gentlemen of the Bastion Club have proven their courage while fighting England s enemies， but nothing has prepared them for dealing with that most formidable of challenges: the opposite sex. Deverell， Viscount Paignton， is in desperate need of a wife. Unmoved by the matchmaking “herd，” he seeks help from his aunt， who directs him to a lady she vows is perfect for him. Dispatched to a country house party to look the lady over， he discovers her not swanning about among the guests but with her nose buried in a book in the library. Phoebe Malleson is tempted to distraction by Deverell， but marrying him isn t part of her plan. Moved by an incident in her past， Phoebe has a secret cause to which she s committed. Unfortunately， telling Deverell to go away doesn t work， and he quickly learns of her secret. But someone powerful has her cause targeted for destruction—and her in their sights. Phoebe must accept Deverell s help…though the cost to them both might be dear—and deadly. |
