AN INDECENT INVITATION
Spies and Lovers, Book 1 Keeping her safe is difficult, keeping a proper distance from her is downright impossible. Lady Lily Drummond understands only too well the danger of spy work. Her father, a preeminent master spy, has been missing for months, and her brother barely survived his final mission for the Crown. Lily is still determined to help find her father, no matter how hard her brother and his best friend try to keep her in the dark. Busy trying to untangle the web of deceit surrounding the Earl of Windor’s disappearance, Crown spy Gray Masterson also has to ensure Lily Drummond, the gangly, awkward child who was his constant shadow growing up, doesn’t get herself ruined at her London debut. But the girl with scraped knees and elbows has evolved into a lush, sensual beauty surrounded by a bevy of suitors. Realizing Lily is going to investigate on her own if he doesn’t let her join the hunt for her missing father, Gray assumes he can give Lily a few minor tasks to pacify her, but he quickly learns she is a valuable asset. Moreover, she fairly crackles with life and warmth—things he craves after his dark years in service. Product Warnings : This book contains spies, scandals, naughty liaisons in houses of ill repute, men who think they know everything and women who know they do not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- READ EXCERPT HERE An Indecent Invitation will always be a special book to me. It’s the first book I ever wrote, got me a literary agent, and was the first book I sold to a publisher. Although, I always read, I never thought seriously about writing until my kids were both in school and I knew I didn’t want to go back to work as a chemical engineer. So without telling anyone (even my husband), I sat down one morning after I dropped the kids at school and started An Indecent Invitation. Of course, what you read is quite different than my first draft. I basically learned to write with Lily and Gray. |
