"... [A] rakish spy finds more than he bargained for in his pursuit of an earl's enchanting runaway fianc???ee. The mission: Find the Earl of Brundage's runaway fianc???ee in exchange for a fortune. Child's play for legendary British former spymaster, Christian Hawkes. The catch? Hawkes knows in his bones that Brundage is the traitor to England who landed him in a brutal French prison. Hawkes is destitute, the earl is desperate, and a bargain is struck. Fleeing a savagely shattered dream, the sheltered Lady Aurelie Capet finds refuge in an alias and the warmth and kindness of the Grand Palace on the Thames--until a gorgeous, mysterious disturbance to her peace literally topples through the door. An unexpected, fierce desire that feels destined, dangerous--and devastatingly sweet--ignites between the sheltered beauty and the jaded spy, and as they slowly unravel each other's shocking secrets Hawkes closes in on the truth about the earl. Soon it's clear they can have no future without vanquishing the past: Hawkes knows that loving her means avenging her. Aurelie knows that loving Hawkes means freeing him to do that, no matter the cost"--

This is my first book by this author although she's been on my "want to read" list for a long time. Initially, I wasn't sure if it was going to work for me as the hero and heroine do not meet until after the first third of the book. The start was a bit slow in the romance department due to that but I still enjoyed what was happening with each of these characters leading up to that moment.
I liked the bit of intrigue that surrounded Hawkes. It wasn't as much a mystery as it was the method he was going about to even the score with his adversary. He was a strong hero that had an immediate reaction to Aurelie the moment he saw her. The steam wasn't prevalent, but I could definitely feel the chemistry between this couple.
There isn't a lot of time with them together from the moment they met until the end but it was layered with drama and uncertainty as well as a host of humor from the residents at the Grand Palace on the Thames. Oh my gosh, I loved everyone there! They were perfect in every way and made the best of friends to Aurelie who felt so alone.
Overall, I found this to be a great read and the writing to have that historical feel to it that is sometimes lacking these days.
