As usual, civilization has fallen with a basso profundo clatter and all right-thinking people are at each other's throats. In Paris, the guillotine's doing a roaring business. Civil war batters and bashes its way across the countryside. On the philosophical front, the world's teetering on the cusp of old loyalties and new. Maggie's caught in the center. Her old certainties have been swept away. Love and loyalty pull in different directions. To survive, she'll become someone she barely recognizes. And Doyle ... our Doyle is playing the detached loner. This is maybe not so smart when half of France is after his neck.

For years he'd lived a lie. It was time to tell the truth . . . even if it cost him the woman he loved.

Dusting off her spy skills, she sets out to track down a ruthless French fanatic and rescue the innocent victim he's holding—only to find an old colleague...

Прекрасная Жюстина де Кабрийяк, раненная таинственным врагом, вынуждена молить о помощи единственного человека, который в силах спасти ее, — Эйдриана Хоукхерста по прозвищу Ястреб, одного из лучших агентов на тайной службе его величества. Но Ястреб, когда-то безумно любивший Жюстину, считает ее изменницей и предательницей. Нелегко будет Жюстине убедить бывшего возлюбленного в своей невиновности — а еще труднее вновь разжечь в его сердце пламя страсти.

Attacked on a rainy London street, veteran spy Justine DeCabrillac knows only one man can save her: Hawker, her oldest friend . . . her oldest enemy. London's crawling with hidden assassins and someone is out to frame Hawker for murder. The two spies must work together to find who's out to destroy them

A career is blooming... A glittering French aristocrat is on the run, disguised as a British governess. England's top spy has a score to settle with her family. But as they're drawn inexorably into the intrigue and madness of Revolutionary Paris, they gamble on a love to which neither of them will admit.

After her father is wrongly accused of selling secrets to Napoleon, lovely Jess Whitby infiltrates the London underworld for the real traitor — only to end up naked in the bed of a rude merchant captain. Not only is she falling in love with him, but he may be the scoundrel she's looking for.

She's never met a man she couldn't deceive...until now. She's braved battlefields. She's stolen dispatches from under the noses of heads of state. She's played the worldly courtesan, the naive virgin, the refined British lady, even a Gypsy boy. But Annique Villiers, the elusive spy known as the Fox Cub, has finally met the one man she can't outwit.
