THE (Spymaster’s Lady

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.

“A FLAT-OUT SPECTACULAR BOOK.”
