Her Quicksilver Lover — Lynne Connolly

Love knows no bounds, and keeps no secrets.

Joanna Spencer is doing more than just serving tea at the Pantheon Club. She's secretly collecting society gossip and evidence of foreign spy activity for her father's journal articles. Instead, she finds the club's walls shield Roman gods in human form. One of which she must keep at arm's length at all costs-the club's alluring, enigmatic owner, Amidei, Comte d'Argento. Otherwise known as Mercury. Joanna catches Amidei's attention long before she drops and shatters an expensive tea caddy. He knows she's spying, but he never suspected she'd be his nemesis in human form-or that she would stir his strongest protective instincts. Those instincts will be tested to the limit when an enemy strikes from an unexpected corner, threatening their lives. And Amidei will have to face every last one of his fears to protect the woman he has come to love.

Warning: Contains a woman who's too honest to be a good spy, and a mind-reading god sent reeling down the fast track to passion the moment he touches her thoughts. Excessive heat could cause readers to reach for a fan, but remember--fanning the flames only makes them burn hotter.
