Determined to secure another London season without assistance from her new brother-in-law, Mary Alsworthy accepts a secret assignment from Lord Vaughn on behalf of the Pink Carnation. She must infiltrate the ranks of the dreaded French spy, the Black Tulip, before he and his master can stage their planned invasion of England. Every spy has a weakness and for the Black Tulip that weakness is beautiful black-haired women—his “petals” of the Tulip. A natural at the art of seduction, Mary easily catches the attention of the French spy, but Lord Vaughn never anticipated that his own heart would be caught as well. Fighting their growing attraction, impediments from their past, and, of course, the French, Mary and Vaughn find themselves lost in a treacherous garden of lies.

And as our modern-day heroine, Eloise Kelly, digs deeper into England’s Napoleonic-era espionage, she becomes even more entwined with Colin Selwick, the descendant of her spy subjects.]]> 2008 3 0 false Wed Dec 31 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 15:37:50 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 15:45:18 -0800 2008 more...]]> 56913137 232072 1363577 0525950338 9780525950332 196 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1363577.The_Seduction_of_the_Crimson_Rose 3.74 1140 2008 5 0 false Fri Apr 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 19:17:23 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 19:24:30 -0700 2009
