Wed to a Spy
Description
Blistering seduction meets international intrigue in the Highlands as a veteran spy infiltrates the court of Mary, Queen of Scots. There he matches wits against a tantalizing enemy: his new wife.
Simon Marcheford wants nothing more than to settle down on the land bestowed upon him by the English crown. Queen Elizabeth, however, is not about to let her best spy retire so easily. Simon will have his reward, she decrees, after he completes one last mission in Scotland. But no sooner has he sussed out a diabolical plot up North than Queen Mary weds him to her cousin—an exquisite beauty with troubled, soulful eyes—and orders Simon to watch her every move.
Aimee de Verris is no spy. But her life may depend on becoming one. Banished from the French court by Catherine de Medici, Aimee finds herself tasked with reporting on Queen Mary’s activities in Scotland, where she’s unnerved by the frigid weather and brutish customs. Worst of all, Aimee’s been married off to a most uncouth lout. But when murder strikes, she learns to appreciate Simon’s talent for shielding her with every inch of his muscular frame. If Aimee desires her husband, perhaps she could trust him—or even love him.
My Review
After having recently finished my last of my fix for the television show, Reign; I was looking forward to checking this book out. It was like revisiting old friends with Queen Mary and Elizabeth, as well as Catherine De Medici.
Yet, the ladies were not the full center of attention in this story. Now, it was about two dueling spies...Aimee and Simon. Simon is the professional here. Aimee is the newbie. In fact, she is not a very good spy. Yet, she tries so hard that it is hard not to like her. I am so glad that Simon and Aimee's connection was not an insta-romance. Simon was the gentleman.
However, don't let their story fool you as it is not all romance. There is action as well and a happy ending. This was one of the easiest books for me to read. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Wed to a Spy is Queen worthy!
