Summary

The historical romance that began Joanna Bourne's spectacular spymaster series!

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.

Joanna lives on a mountaintop in the Appalachians with her family, a peculiar cat, and an old brown country dog.

Booklist Review

British spymaster Robert Grey came to France to find Annique Villiers, the notorious Fox Cub, only to end up sharing the same prison cell as the beautiful spy. In order to escape, the two enter into a reluctant partnership that ends the minute they're free. Believing that Annique has valuable information about the Albion plans Napoléon's scheme to invade England Robert's only goal is to get her back to London, but the surprisingly resourceful Annique is determined to thwart Robert at every turn. In her exceptional debut romance, Bourne deftly distills danger, deception, and desire into a seamlessly constructed story that will captivate readers with its irresistible combination of superbly nuanced characters and a high-adrenaline plot.--Charles, John Copyright 2008 Booklist
