An untrained spy on a daring mission meets a secretive man with a dark past to hide—and there is another spy in their midst!

Lady Genevieve Paysanne is the daughter of Count du Malpons, and their somewhat strained relationship is put on hold for a time when he decides to send her on a secret mission. She is bound for the ancestral lands of her mother—the wilds of the Scottish Highlands—with nothing except ghostly tales whispered by servants as her guide. She is to meet her distant cousins, all descended from a place called Duncliffe, but she knows nothing of Francine or Arabella, or their families.

She also knows nothing of their unexpected house guests, but knows that they may well be the reason she’s been sent on a mission to gather information for her staunchly-Jacobite father in France.

A dark and brooding man with a tainted past can only stare in awe as the most beautiful woman he’s ever met enters his life.

Lord Adair Hume has a terrible secret that he hides from the world, known only to the dark forested fortress of his youth—and his father. He could not save his mother, but caused her death, or so he’s always been reminded, and doesn’t deserve the attention of the stunning woman he meets at the home of some of his only friends, Lord Richard and Lady Arabella. However, she graces him with her presence on occasion, and he fumbles to speak around her.

When another stranger threatens her life, he knows that he’ll do anything to protect the only light he’s ever known in his dark world, even if it costs him his life.

The mission is harder than anything she’d ever imagined—because the spy she’s been seeking may have been right under her fingertips the entire time!

When Genevieve realizes that the very man she’s beginning to love with her whole heart could be the spy threatening the Cause, she knows that she must seal away her feelings for good. He’s nothing if not a good actor, but she is well-practiced at sealing away her heart from the world to protect it. The whispers of a Seer only confirm her belief, that a shadow is threatening and she will not see the light for what it is…or could she be wrong about everything?

Can Lady Genevieve trust her heart when it tells her to believe the words whispered by the man who has captured her heart—or is he saying whatever he can to get her to spill secrets about the manor and those who live there?

Should Lord Adair open up and tell the beautiful visitor his terrible secret—or will it drive away the only sunshine he’s ever known in his dark heart?

Will they both live to regret their choices when the shadowy assassin returns for another attempt at finishing his own mission?
