His imprisonment six years ago broke him in a way that makes the prospect of love impossible-he’s a shadowed Hades pining for sun-kissed Persephone. Raven still wonders how Hell-cat Hampden’s lithe body would feel pressed against his, but for the mission he must remind himself that the woman takes more pleasure in ancient languages than she does in seduction. She’s sure nothing will change, thanks to the disfiguring scar on her face.Nothing has changed. Heloise has quarreled with the man they call Raven since childhood, yet always maintained a chaste distance. But it’s the agent assigned to protect Heloise who poses the greatest threat to her heart: William de l’Isle, Viscount Ravenwood. When she cracks the enemy’s most recent communication, French agents are sent to silence her. In the war against France, Heloise Hampden is a high-value asset to the Crown. But fate is a mistress who cannot be denied. When a bookish codebreaker and a dashing spy are reunited in this steamy historical romance from the author of To Steal a Heart, their lives depend on their ability to resist temptation.
