In this first
installment of The Lady Spies Series, we are introduced to the infamous
Lady M and Charles Isley as they create a new network of lady spies
from society, young widows of beauty and intelligence, who will train
and uncover traitorous plots against The Crown. Meredith Sinclair is
the first beauty. Widow of a loveless marriage, Meredith discovers
excitement and freedom in being one of the Lady Spies and working in
the field picking locks and dodging bullets is her forte. When she is
given a new assignment involving the handsome Tristan Archer, Marquis
of Carmichael, who she has been attracted to since he saved her life as
a young girl, her skills are put to the test. In order to discover if
he is involved in treasonous activities she finagles an invitation to
his family's house party. Little does she realize that Tristan has
always been attracted to her and that now that she is back in his life,
he finds her hard to resist. Tristan is out for vengeance to uncover
the treasonous villain that was responsible for the death of his
brother, who was killed in a military battle because of important
information leaked about the location of troops. He realizes he must
keep away from Meredith so she is not pulled into the danger. At the
same time Meredith is trying to discover if Tristan is indeed linked to
an oil painting that hides treasonous documents. Tristan and Meredith
are drawn together by their individual missions and passionate desire
for each other. As the activities of their individual missions and the
house party spin out of control, Meredith and Tristan come together in
a moment of intense passion in his bedchamber. The villain then uses
their attraction to get away and when Meredith discovers evidence that
points to Tristan she has him arrested, only to realize later that he
may not be guilty. With the help of the other Lady Spies she frees
Tristan and they work together in an exciting finale to uncover the
real treasonous villain. From London With Love is a sensual, delightful
adventure from start to finish that is difficult to put down. I can't
wait to read and re-read the entire series!
