Out of print for over ten years, bestselling author Jane Ashford presents a stunning reissue of her beloved Regency romance. Gavin Graham works alone, trusts no one, and never, ever falls in love. But this spy may have met his match... Ex-governess Laura Devane has been handpicked to fulfill an important mission: distract Gavin from the deceptive charms of a Russian countess. Once, years ago, Laura defiantly rejected Gavin's marriage proposal, but now she meets his cool charm and tempting advances with maddening poise. Undeterred, Gavin is pulled by Laura's passion for intrigue, and when she plunges headfirst into a perilous investigation, Gavin fears not only for her safety, but for that of his heart as well.
