Lady of Intrigue

Book excerpt: London, 1814 Lady Jane Langley values logic and reason over passion and emotion. Her intellect has given her value in the eyes of both her father and society. Logic gives way to terrible, icy fear when Jane finds herself in a devastating carriage accident... an accident in which she is helpless to do anything but watch as her aristocratic companion is murdered. But this was no mere accident. This was an assassination. Spy and grandson of Lord Landsdowne, Gerard Badeau is methodic in his dark, shadowy work, knowing that any display of emotion could get him killed. Something about the mysterious woman and her cool blue eyes stays Gerard's lethal hand. Now he has both a witness and a hostage. And if he doesn't kill Lady Jane Langley, he risks a fate that is far, far worse...falling in love with her. Each book in the Group of Eight series is STANDALONE: * Lord of Regrets * Lady of Intrigue
