The third sexy Regency-era tale in the Cavendish Square trilogy about three aristocratic women who seek romance and excitement in London where one of them inherits a fabulous house.
Young widow Aurelia Farnham came to London with two female friends seeking love and excitement. While her two friends succeeded, Aurelia has not. She finds herself alone at the house on Cavendish Square, fearing that life is passing her by, until Colonel Greville Falconer calls on her. He delivers the stunning news that her husband Frederick did not die at the Battle of Trafalgar as Aurelia had been informed by the Royal Navy; he died just two months ago in Spain. For two years Frederick had been working on a covert mission under Falconer's command. Aurelia is further shocked when Falconer proposes that she help him in spying on a suspicious group of Spanish exiles in London. But her repressed desire for adventure kicks in and she accepts the offer. She realises that working with an enigmatic spy might be dangerous, but she never expects to fall in love.
