When the intriguing Comte dEsmond enters a room,
women swoon and men gnash their teeth. The count
is fully accustomed to this reaction--and
brilliant at exploiting it. What he isnt prepared
for is Leila Beaumont. One look from her tawny
eyes is dangerously captivating. How troublesome.
Esmond cant afford the distraction of an
entanglement, however passionate it promises to
be. Hes supposed to be working-- for the British
government! --and his employers want Leilas
corrupt and treacherous husband brought to
justice. When the spouse, unsurprisingly and
conveniently, gets himself murdered, all Esmond
has to do is clear Leila of suspicion and proceed
to the next assignment.

But not being hanged for her husbands murder
isnt enough for Leila. She wants to learn the
truth all of it from Esmond, a man whos been
lying all his life.
