Amelia Greystone was deeply in love when the Earl of St. Just abruptly ended his courtship and left Cornwall ten years earlier. So she is stunned when Simon returns, recently widowed. Now she must forget the past they shared and his betrayal and console him as any neighbor would. Simon has changed—he is dark and haunted now—but he can still make her reel with a single look. When he offers her the position of housekeeper, Amelia knows she must refuse. But for the sake of his children, she throws all caution to the wind....
A British spy, Simon Grenville is now playing both sides in a time of war, his goal to keep his sons safe. Yet when he is brought face-to-face with the woman he once loved, he realizes nothing about his feelings for Amelia has changed—if anything, they are even stronger. Still, Simon knows he must stay away from Amelia; his life is too dangerous now. But sometimes passion is too strong to be denied....

      Marked for execution in a French prison in 1794, British spy Simon Grenville agrees to pass information to the French in exchange for his freedom. Returning to his life in Cornwall as the earl of St. Just, Simon learns that his estranged wife has died in childbirth and his lovely, impoverished neighbor, Amelia Greystone, has stepped in to help care for his children. Amelia agrees to accompany Simon to London as his housekeeper because she loves the children and needs the money, but the attraction they felt 10 years earlier still burns. As their passion erupts, Simon tries to wiggle between the British and French governments and get out of the espionage business alive. Fans of the previous volume, Seduction, may find the opening act familiar, but James’s lovers are sympathetic and likable, with good chemistry that will please readers. Dramatic, solid writing and atmospheric details make for an enjoyable read. Agent: Lucy Childs and Aaron Priest, Aaron Priest Literary Agency.
