What this book is about
Annique Villiers is the most skilled spy in France — captured and imprisoned with a British spymaster named Grey. Their escape together through revolutionary France is one of romance's most acclaimed adventures, full of genuine danger, sharp dialogue, and slow-burn passion. Bourne writes with literary precision; the romance is explicitly sensual.
