Summary

A scholarly lord falls for an enemy spy in this Regency romance series finale “with plenty of red-hot lust and chilling danger” (Publishers Weekly). Lord Drake Byron has no time to worry about taking a wife. He is fully devoted to helping defeat Napoleon’s forces with the unbreakable code he developed. Little does he know that their irresistibly lovely new housekeeper he’s hired is really a French secret agent. Sebastianne Dumont is not at all who she seems to be. Forced to spy in order to save her family, she reluctantly embarks on her mission. And that mission becomes even more dangerous when she falls in love with the devilishly desirable man she must ultimately betray.

    Though she hopes for a quiet, uncomplicated life for herself, Dorothy Clark wants nothing more than to stir others up. Specifically, she dreams of writing something that will challenge people as much as Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin seems to have. But in 1850s Mesquite Springs, there are few opportunities for writers--until newspaperman Brandon Holloway arrives, that is. 
     
    Brandon Holloway has seen the disastrous effects of challenging others and has no intention of repeating that mistake. Instead of following his dreams, he's committed to making a new--and completely uncontroversial--start in the Hill Country. 
     
    As Dorothy's involvement in the fledgling newspaper grows from convenient to essential, the same change seems to be happening in Brandon's heart. But before romance can bloom, Dorothy and Brandon must work together to discover who's determined to divide the town and destroy Brandon's livelihood. 
     
    With this second novel in the Mesquite Springs series, bestselling author Amanda Cabot invites you to discover the healing power of truth.
