Description
From “a marvelous writer,” this Regency romance spanning Persia and London, tells the tale of a bold young woman who falls for an infamous spy (RT Book Reviews). Baghdad, 1808. Adventure is in Japonica Fortnom’s blood. After all, her family has been with the East India Company for generations. But when she is chosen to help an ailing English viscount escape Napoleon’s invading army, she knows she can’t do it alone. So Japonica enlists the aid of the infamous Hind Div. Whispered to be a spy, an assassin, and even a sorcerer, Hind Div agrees to help her . . . in exchange for a night of passion. A year later, the war is over. Japonica arrives in England wishing only to return to France, and to the son conceived on that one night of surrender. But when she meets the new Viscount, she is shocked to discover it is Hind Div himself! Scarred by war, he has no memory of the merciless man he once was. Now Japonica must live with this man who once ignited her passions—and lights them aflame once again—and help him rediscover his pride, honor, and identity . . . even if it costs her everything. “A captivating Cindarella story.” —RT Book Reviews
