Two unattainable missions, one unattainable love...
Joie and Reggie are back. And while it’s no secret they are in love, convincing her father that the title-less Reggie will be a good husband is a failed mission–at least so far. However, they won’t give up. Joie must return to London for her first season, pretending to accept her fate, that her father has picked an eligible man for Joie to wed. Help will come in the form of Lady Henrietta, who has personally assumed the task of sponsoring Joie to stifle any scandal and to help make the match with Reggie work.
And only one of these two is on assignment from the Crown.
Reggie is in London, tasked with finding the mole inside the head code breaker’s household. Joie immediately tries to help Reggie with his assignment by befriending Lady Henrietta’s uncle who is a codebreaker–and fraternizing with the servants in effort to find the spy, despite Reggie telling her not to interfere this time. But when Joie discovers how the mole is sending the messages to France, the enemy must retaliate. But this time, she’s not the target. She’s jeopardized someone else.
Who will live and who will die? And will Reggie and Joie ever be able to wed?
