Classic Regency romance with a dash of suspense . . .

spinster in her beloved Northamptonshire, but with an ailing
father and an entailed estate, she must come to London and enter
the Marriage Mart. And if she must marry, she is determined to
marry for love.
In a brief respite from the social whirl of the season, she
retreats from the restrictions of the ton to sketch in the park
and stumbles over a French spy. When Penelope finds her life in
danger, Viscount Beau Wellingham steps up to protect her,
however he has secrets of his own. Wellingham leads a
clandestine life as an agent for the Foreign Office trapping
spies. In defending her life, he unwittingly puts her reputation
at risk.
In order to save Penelope from society’s scorn, Beau presses for
a betrothal. Though she resists, he insists. Soon Beau is unable
to deny the attraction he feels towards her. Before he can act
on his feelings, danger rises again. This time, his life is on
the line.
With a desperate spy closing in, Penelope must choose the safety
of what she has always known or a chance for love. But will she
be too late?
I love the regency romance novels that I can find. This one was
amazing and i absolutely love this author. It was so amazing
that she added the spy twist to this romance gave it a lil more
action and pep to it.
Penelope of what can you say the poor girl is so stuck in the
eyes of society. What is and isnt right and finding her way
through it all.
Beau what an intriguing man with so many secrets to unravel
throught out this book. He is a wonderfully romantic type
character and falls hard and fast for this girl. But worries
about what he has gotten her into because of his life.
A must read for anyone into romance novels.
