In the newest Spymaster novel, master of romance and suspense* Joanna Bourne offers a stirring tale of intrigue, espionage, and attraction. Sverine de Cabrillac, orphan of the French revolution and sometime British intelligence agent, has tried to leave spying behind her. Now she devotes herself to investigating crimes in London and finding justice for the wrongly accused. Raoul Deverney, an enigmatic half-Spaniard with enough secrets to earn even a spy's respect, is at her door demanding help. She's the only one who can find the killer of his long-estranged wife and rescue her missing twelve-year-old daughter. Sverine reluctantly agrees to aid him, even though she knows the growing attraction between them makes it more than unwise. Their desperate search for the girl ?unleashes treason and murder. . . and offers a last chance for two strong, wounded people to find love. *New York Times bestselling author Teresa Medeiros

Pickpick

A (semi)retired spy and an aristocrat with a past join forces to locate a missing 12 year old. War secrets, family sins, and inconvenient attraction all feature equally in this romance. The hero and heroine respect each other and are well-matched otherwise, too. May be more enjoyable if you read read others in the series, but should be okay as a stand-alone.

Bourne‘s keen eye for describing the heft & movement of human bodies & the lightness and agility of the mind is employed to absorbing effect in her latest spy romance in post-Waterloo England. A former spy, the heroine has turned detective but old secrets & a new case brought to her by a mysterious Frenchman mean that the past is casting a long shadow. Old favorites like Doyle and Hawker appear. Well-paced, with sensuous prose #romantsy

Just started because I‘d saved it for after my semester ended. Barely in and I‘m reminded of what an evocative stylist Bourne is : Heroine decided to act like a”potato in a field, mysterious and passive” #romantsy #spyromance

Chachic @brandymuses Will keep it in mind! I'm trying to prioritize the books I already own instead of buying more.😂 7y
brandymuses @Chachic That's just crazy talk. 😂 I need to do that too though actually. 7y
Chachic Haha it's so hard! I'm sure I'll get distracted by a shiny, new book sooner or later. Probably sooner.😄 7y
