As the oldest son of the brilliant Harcourt code breaking family, the Earl of Kendal has never backed down from a challenge. When he accepts a dangerous clandestine assignment in Paris, he never expects it to be his last. But with his enemies hot on his trail, and a quickly worsening injury sapping his strength, even Michael Harcourt might not survive this one. Just as death seems imminent, he is saved by a young boy...or so he thinks.
Lady Gabrielle De Valmont is not what she seems. Desperate to avoid the terrible fate that awaits her if she remains in France, she'll do anything to escape, including disguising herself as a boy and helping a cunning Englishman. She can ignore the desire he stirs within her, for their alliance will be short-lived at best, a necessary evil.
But when the danger follows her back to England, Gabrielle must rely on Michael for protection. When both lord and lady have secret identities, can their passion really be trusted?

“I learned a lot about the war between France and England during Napoleon's reign, about codes and the breaking of codes. I loved the fact that women were not only pretty faces. With spies and surprises popping up everywhere, it was not just about falling in love. However, the love scenes were truly enviable.” —Daphne Carew, Amazon
“Absorbing intrigue! Nicely developed characters and a devious plot keep the excitement going in this splendid read. I'm looking forward to more of Delecki's books!” —Amazon Customer, Amazon
“A fast paced plot with well developed characters, plenty of twists and turns that kept me turning the pages because I had to know more and a slow and heated romance. The premise of this code was based on music; and I really did find that to be fascinating. I never knew that there was a "musical code" that was used during this time period. I also enjoyed seeing old friends again from the previous books and finding out how they are and what they have been up to since I left them.” —J.M. Varner, Amazon
