  Alex Cross, the Duke of "Ice" has earned the nickname given him by the ton. Having lost his family in a tragic accident a few years before, he is now cynical, blasé, and arrogant. The duke no longer expects happiness, but will not reject sensual pleasure if it is offered. After all, a man has needs . . .  
   
  . . . none of which will be met, unfortunately, at this particular house party. For most of his fellow guests are elderly gossips and the entertainments thus far have been something of a snooze, really. He'll make his excuses and depart early. 
   
  He fails to escape, however, before Miss Abigail Wright arrives. The barely genteel lady smiles too often, laughs too easily, and is far too optimistic for her own good. And after she experiences a most unfortunate wardrobe malfunction, the Duke of Ice reluctantly finds himself sexually attracted to her. 
   
  That's when the trouble begins. 
   
  Because a house party scandal spreads like wildfire and if the duke wishes to save Miss Wright's reputation, he'll have to make her a respectable offer. She's just a mouse of a thing really. What harm can there be in marrying the poor gal and then leaving her to rusticate in the country? 
   
  What harm indeed.

  The Breakfast

  Water torture . . . A US army dam engineer is targeted in a Kremlin honeytrap and a Russian mole killed in Ukraine after passing on key information to the CIA. The question is why? Operative Jayne Robinson is asked to find out. 
   
  As Moscow prepares to invade Ukraine, Robinson uncovers evidence of a Russian plot, masterminded by a mystery Kremlin puppet, to destroy a critical hydroelectric dam. 
  But which one? 
   
  As the young dam engineer disappears after hearing too much, apparently kidnapped by a dangerous Russian seductress, Robinson finds herself in a desperate race against time down the River Danube to locate him. 
   
  Nothing is what it seems: Robinson is forced to take on spiraling risks—urged on by a US President who is preparing for a visit to Kyiv to support his Ukrainian counterpart. 
   
  To make progress, Robinson gets involved in a high-stakes game of international poker with a top-level asset inside the Russian president’s inner circle—who was recruited under coercion. 
   
  But with the threat of a biblical-scale flood looming, can the asset now be trusted? Can Robinson find out which dam is at risk? Which shadowy figure is behind the plot to destroy it? And can her knife-edge operation to rescue the missing engineer succeed?
