This is the second book in Caroline Linden's delightfully entertaining trilogy about historical romances, billed as James Bond set in the Regency era.

"Touches every emotion." -- Julia Quinn "[A] rich and passionate tale." -- Romantic Times

Caroline Linden was born a reader, not a writer. She earned a math degree from Harvard University and wrote computer software before turning to writing fiction. Twelve years, sixteen books, three Red Sox championships, and one dog later, she has never been happier with her decision. Her books have won the NEC Reader's Choice Beanpot Award, the Daphne du Maurier Award, the NJRW Golden Leaf Award, and RWA's RITA(R) Award. Since she never won any prizes in math, she takes this as a sign that her decision was also a smart one.
