Book 3 of Aikenhead Honours series
Lord Jack Aikenhead-charming, irresponsible, a gambler. Past redemption?
Until their arrival in France, in the spring of 1815, Jack and his friend, Ben Dexter, have been mere foot soldiers in the Aikenhead Honours. Operating alone for the first time, they reach Lyons together, where their spying mission becomes even more urgent following Napoleon's escape from exile in Elba. Worst of all, Ben is severely wounded when their work has barely begun.
Jack, the incorrigible playboy, must assume more responsibility than ever before and go on, without Ben, to Paris and beyond. Travelling alone would jeopardise his mission, but his only possible companion is a woman who is forbidden. If they brave the dangers of enemy territory together, will he be able to resist the temptation she presents? And will she consent to keep her distance, even if he does?
