A Rakish Spy — Laura Paquet

A Spirited Schoolmistress
Vicar's daughter Charlotte Gregory spent much of her girlhood infatuated with the dashing Francis Burnham, Viscount Finchwood. As he was far beyond her touch, Charlotte accepted a suitor of more modest means, but when her faithless fiance cries off, she takes a position as headmistress of a girls' school. Life is satisfying, if a trifle dull...until the day Charlotte meets Finch on a London street, and receives a most unconventional proposal.


A Daring Rogue
Since his military career was halted by an injury, Finch has found little to amuse himself. Morose and slipping into a life of dissipation, he is even tiring of his string of all-too-willing women, when Whitehall asks him to infiltrate a ring of French spies operating among the haut ton. Charlotte is just the person to help him, if he can convince her that for once his motives are worthy. However, convincing himself that his interest in the charming young lady is purely professional will be a far greater challenge...
