New Release:

Seduced by a Spy (Warner Forever)
Shannon is the most daring of “Merlin’s Maidens.” But her hellfire temper has recently landed her in trouble with her superiors, and she fears her days at the Academy might be numbered. However, she’s offered a second chance. Her assignment: stop the ruthless French assassin who is targeting the family of a top British ballistics expert.
She jumps at the opportunity, only to discover that her commander-in-chief has made a deal with the Devil. The mission is to be a joint venture with Russian Intelligence—and a sinfully sexy spy she has clashed with once before. Alexandr Orlov got the best of her on that occasion, but this time she’s determined it won’t happen again.

Orlov is no more happy about the assignment than she is. He’s all too aware that lovely, lethal British agent is impervious to his notorious charm with women. Indeed, sparks fly whenever they rub together, and Orlov fears that the job will be perilous enough without the threat of personal fireworks. But orders are orders. Masquerading as a tutor and governess, he and Shannon are dispatched to a remote Scottish castle, where they must learn to work together in order to protect an elderly dowager and her two precocious grandchildren from harm.

The arrival of houseguests from London adds further complications. Are Lady Sylvia and her friends innocent of ulterior motives? Or does their visit have a more sinister design? Caught up in a dangerous duel between duty and desire, Shannon and Orlov have to decide who is friend and who is foe. Trust is a double-edged sword. A ruthless enemy is watching… and planning to turn their growing passion into the most deadly weapon of all.


 
Previous Release:

The Spy Wore Silk
They were once orphans from London’s toughest slums. Now they are students of Mrs. Merlin’s Academy for Select Young Ladies, learning the art of swordplay and seduction. Bold, beautiful, and oh-so dangerous, they are England’s ultimate secret weapons—spies that no mission can daunt and no man can resist. . .

The most skilled of “Merlin’s Maidens,” Siena is given a perilous first assignment: unmask a clever traitor lurking among London’s wealthiest peers before he strikes again. Her only clue is that the man she seeks belongs to an exclusive club of art collectors … and so, armed with only her wits, her blades and her body, she journeys to a remote castle where its members have gathered for a special auction. Posing as sultry courtesan willing to sell herself to the highest bidder, she devises a series of seductive games to lure the enemy into giving himself away. But her prime suspect, the enigmatic Earl of Kirtland, proves a far more dangerous opponent than she ever imagined. The disgraced ex-Army officer wields a sword—and his sinfully sensuous looks—with ruthless skill. Is she a match for his steel?

Kirtland’s instincts tell him that the enticing “Black Dove” is hiding more than a luscious body beneath her fancy silks. No lightskirt should know how to parry and thrust so expertly— in bed and out. Has she come to steal the art treasures? Or are her motives even more sinister. . .

And so begins a dangerous duel of deceptions and desires. As the action takes a deadly turn, Siena must decide whether to trust her head or her heart. Joining forces with Kirtland may be the only way to beat a cunning enemy . . . but is she willing to pay the price?
