Along Came a Spy

This book is scheduled to be released in January 2027.

April 1854. England is at war with Russia, and someone inside the British War Department is feeding troop movements to the enemy. The trail leads to Paris—and to the glittering, treacherous court of Napoleon III.

James Devlin, Lord Ravenscroft has spent years perfecting his cover: the sulking, mercurial aristocrat no one takes seriously. He’s never needed a wife before. Queen Victoria disagrees.

Lady Elizabeth didn’t expect to spend her third season married to a spy. She didn’t expect to be useful, either. But Elizabeth notices things—the small betrayals, the careful performances, the one face in a room full of actors that doesn’t quite fit. In the Tuileries, that instinct may be the most valuable weapon James has.

The problem is trust. James was nearly destroyed by a woman who performed sincerity for a living. Elizabeth has spent her life bracing for the people she loves to leave. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the arrangement stops being an arrangement.

Along Came a Spy is a historical romantic suspense set in the court of Napoleon III—a story of espionage, betrayal, and two people who must learn to trust each other before the spy finds them first.
