A feisty counterfeiter . . .

As Sabine de la Tour tosses piles of forged banknotes onto a bonfire in a Paris park, she bids a reluctant farewell to her double life as a notorious criminal. She and her business partner must escape France—or face the guillotine. Her only hope of surviving in England is to strike a deal with the very spy she’s spent her career outrunning. But after meeting the arrogant operative in the flesh, Sabine longs to throw herself upon his mercy—and into his arms.

An arrogant spy . . .

Richard Hampden, Viscount Lovell, is prepared to take any risk to safeguard England from the horrors of the French Revolution. He’s even willing to make a pact with his archenemy: the greatest counterfeiter in Europe, Philippe Lacorte. But when a cheeky, gamine-faced beauty proves herself to be Lacorte, Richard is shocked—and more than a little aroused. Unlike the debutantes who hurl themselves at him, this cunning minx offers an irresistible challenge. Richard will help her. But in return, he wants something that even Sabine cannot fake. . .
