Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

A former spy risks his cold heart to protect the woman he never forgot in bestseller Camp's immersive second Stonecliffe Regency romance (after An Affair at Stonecliffe). Sloane Rutherford is blackmailed into agreeing to spy for the Crown to prevent his beloved Annabeth Winfield from learning that her father is a traitor working for the French. Twelve years after this intrigue abruptly ended their affair, Sloane has a successful business in London--until his warehouse burns down. He initially believes his business rival is responsible, and fears the man will target Annabeth next, because she's still the thing he cares about most in the world. Annabeth, now engaged to the very proper Nathan Dunbridge, is shocked when Sloane reappears in her life to protect her and is distrustful of his concern, believing he callously abandoned her. The danger to Annabeth increases when she and her maid Judy are kidnapped, but the two manage to escape, and Sloane learns that "Judy" is really Verity, a fellow spy hired to find a supposed confession written by Annabeth's late father before he died. As the mystery escalates, attraction sizzles and romantic angst mounts between the leads. Readers will be hooked. Agent: Maria Carvainis, Maria Carvainis Agency. (June)
