About this ebook

Sophie Atherton knows when someone is lying. The covert agent is an expert at deception—she can spy a falsehood a mile away. Working undercover as a medium's assistant, she is well aware that her employer is a charlatan. So when dashing archaeologist Gavin Stanwyck seeks out the spiritualist's services, Sophie knows he's after much more than a long-lost heirloom.

All Gavin Stanwyck wants is justice for his murdered friend, but his search so far has come up empty. Posing as a treasure hunter, he seeks out a man who claims he can commune with the dead—a man Gavin suspects played a role in his friend’s death.

Complicating matters even more is the medium's beautiful assistant. She's a distraction Gavin can ill afford and a temptation he’s unable to resist. As danger closes in, he'll risk everything to protect the woman who's dared to touch his heart.

Each book in the Her Majesty’s Most Secret Service series is STANDALONE:
* When a Lady Deceives
* When a Lady Dares

'When a Lady Dares' by Tara Kingston is book Two in the "Her Majesty's Most Secret Service" series. This is the story of Sophie Atherton and Gavin Stanwyck. I have read the previous book but feel this can easily be a standalone book. Sophie is undercover as a medium's assistant when she meets Gavin. Sophie works for the Crown and also works as a journalist for the Herald under a different name. So she is used to repeating lies and knowing when someone is lying. So when she meets Gavin who is a treasure hunter she knows that he isn't telling the truth. Gavin is looking for answers on his friend's Peter death. To get those answers, Gavin poses as a Treasure Hunter. Gavin thinks a Spiritualist may have the information he is looking so he needs to hide who he really is. But Gavin has found the Spiritualist assistant, Sophie is a temptation he might not be able to resit. This book was a great mystery mixed with romance story that once you got a few pages in you wanted to see what would happen next. Gavin and Sophie I thought had good chemistry and both were very likable characters. I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more from Ms. Kingston. "My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."
