She's much too carefree, too lovely, too enchanting to be a spy.
His job is to catch spies. She cannot possibly be one-and he cannot possibly love her!
Clive Davenport, the Marquess of Carlisle, does not fall for beautiful women. But when the dark-haired sylph he glimpsed not far from his home last winter reappears on the beach at Brighton, he cannot escape her lure. Swaying in the June breeze, she is the picture of freedom and delight in the summer sun. Then she saves his little girl from the crashing waves of the Channel waters and constructs kites that dance in his daughter's hands-and in his heart.
She tells him her name is Giselle Laurant, and that she is a French émigré with a work commission she must urgently finish. Employing her special talents as an illustrator, she does not reveal that her renderings of coastal English towns have a special destination.
So falling in love with dashing Carlisle creates problems. He will not disappear. Nor does she want him to. Her past experience with an abusive husband and French police are bitter. Yet she marvels at Clive's kisses that are so sweet, and his tender regard so alluring, that she allows herself one night of surrender.
But when her foes track her, Clive is determined to save her, no matter her sympathies. No matter that he loves her to distraction.
Because Clive knows love can cure so many heartaches...if those who love have the courage to endure.
