Someone wants Alyce Hythe dead... Shunned from London society for being the daughter of England's most notorious spy, Alyce Hythe desires only to clear her father's name. For years, she has been hidden away from all prying eyes, given a new identity and told to forget who she was. But strange things have been happening causing old rumors to once more be whispered. Long has Lord Julian Casvelyn lived with guilt brought on when his brother was murdered by England's most infamous traitor. But one eventful night has changed everything Lord Julian believed about his brother's death. Never did he suspect the woman he has just saved from certain harm is the daughter of that man. Now Julian is caught in midst of a conspiracy and desire for that woman. Thrown together by fate, the two search for answers long denied them and along the way discover a love that can free them both. Not quite sure if it is simply editing mistakes or just odd language choices, but it is a bit disconcerting and kicks the reader out of the story. For example, the male lead is shot. An innkeeper calls for a doctor. The male lead "eyed the man with contempt. It was to late to rectify his gratification, not with being shot." Rectify his gratification? Odd. Can't understand this at all. Explaining the circumstance that led up to the shooting, the male lead explains "It was the occupant of the room. I saw someone entered and discovered the foe stabbing the poor soul in the bed." Stilted. Odd. The story meanders and does not always make sense. Not entirely certain why female lead believes what is driving the story. Not entirely certain why the "friend" somewhat older and wiser also buys in... The author needs an editor and proofreader.
