by Cerise Deland (Author)
Regency Romance with Sizzle and Suspense One moonlit evening in her cousin's garden, Lady Starling comes upon a masked stranger. She's not seen him in years, but she well remembers his skills, his charms. When they were children, he saved her from a tumbril-and hid her from a mob. Together, the two of them ran to England, where he led her to safety. But he stands before her now, a daring man still tempting fate. Monsieur Noir, he calls himself. And so he is, living in shadows, dark and dangerous to his enemies-and to her heart. He needs her help to weed out the nemesis who lives in her cousin's house, a vermin who conspires to end their fight against Napoleon. They work together to discover their enemy in their midst. But can they rekindle the trust they once had for each other-and surrender to a new grand passion?
