Though he holds the title of Earl of Landry in his own right, Lord Thomas McGovern has always been treated as very much the inferior, younger son, never quite able to measure up to his brother, now the Duke of Addlebury. When his brother is kidnapped and taken to Rome, Thomas sees his chance to finally prove himself, though his informant from Her Majesty’s Secret Service proves to be quite the temptation.
Violetta Roan has developed a reputation in Rome as a famous actress, but that is merely a clever ruse to hide her true role. Nonetheless, the sparks that fly between Violetta and Thomas are all too real, but neither can afford to be distracted from their life or death mission, especially when their enemies only seem to be growing stronger.
This was another quick, run read that held my attention with its fast pace and had plenty of steam. It’s frustrating that the villains weren’t captured, but they’re foiled for now and I’m looking forward to following more McGovern antics in Egypt.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
