Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick returns with
a thrilling new venture into romance and mystery, featuring the most unusual,
highly compatible—undeniably combustible—pairing of Tobias March and his
mesmerizing partner, Lavinia Lake.
An invitation to a
country house party at Beaumont Castle provides a perfect solution to Tobias
and Lavinia’s most exasperating challenge: how to escape the chaos of London
for a remote, relaxing—and above all romantic—retreat from prying eyes and
wagging tongues. But the lovers’ plans are foiled when their first cozy
interlude of the weekend is disrupted by the appearance of a stunning woman
from Tobias’s past. Aspasia Gray’s beauty is as haunting as her connection to
Tobias. Her long-deceased fiancé was a friend of his—in addition to being an
eccentric assassin. The mysterious nature of the bond between Tobias and
Aspasia makes Lavinia more than a little uncomfortable. Especially as her first
encounter with Aspasia occurs when she finds her in Tobias’s bedchamber…
It seems Aspasia is
seeking protection--and solace—after receiving an ominous message that eerily
recalls the past. Suddenly the obstacles standing between Tobias and Lavinia
appear greater than just a little London gossip—and far more deadly. When
events at the castle suggest someone is imitating the dead killer’s methods,
the team of Lake and March fervently pursue the investigation—and each other—as
their leads take them from Society’s most elegant haunts—and most discreet
hideaways—to London’s shadiest backstreets. As their relationship heats up, so
does the intrigue. Soon Lavinia will have to employ all her talents to flummox
the scoundrel who so rudely interrupted her rendezvous. And then she and Tobias
can get back to more pleasurable affairs.
