All that stands between Viscount James Ashworth and a much-anticipated quiet retirement is one simple assignment: protect the Prince Regent at a holiday house party. But there's one thing this seasoned spy didn't count on--his childhood friend, Lady Gwyneth Beaumont, who has blossomed into an enticing, passionate hellion. Gwyneth herself has a secret mission of her own: prove she's worthy of joining the Code Breakers and win the heart of the hard-headed viscount she's loved since they were children. Yet when her spying uncovers a secret so shocking the enemy would kill for it, she's thrown head-first into a dangerous world of intrigue, deceit, and treachery. With Ash by her side, Gwyneth is unstoppable. Soon the notorious rake realizes that the woman he'd always considered off-limits is his perfect match, this Christmas and forever after--if only they can survive long enough for that mistletoe kiss.

The story was wonderfully told and kept the reader involved with the story line.“- Goodreads Reviewer An awesome read! Fun, lighthearted, but intriguing and passionate. A secret or two was not remissed as we followed the next in " The Code Breakers " series. A quick read that was very fulfilling. What's not to enjoy about spies, an assassination plot, revenge and love. Oh, a possible French spy! A sweet Christmas romance. Very enjoyable and satisfying read, one that should be on your must read list. Dear Reader: On the surface, the holiday season appears to be one big happy celebration. TV commercials tug at our heartstrings with scenes of three generations gathered around a juicy golden turkey from the local supermarket or smiling friends toasting the occasion with an upscale brand of liquor.Retailers tug on our purse strings with Black Friday sales and Cyber Monday bargains so we can surprise our loved ones with the "perfect" gift. It's all home and hearth, parties and presents, tinsel and candy canes...or is it? The holidays, especially Christmas, have served as a backdrop for the romantic suspense genre in both film and fiction for decades.While Christmas and criminals seem an unlikely combination, many writers and producers have successfully blended the two to create fast-paced thrillers and mysteries that have you sitting on the edge of Santa's lap. Authors, too, have tapped into this merry, scary mix of holidays and whodunits: Silent Night by Mary Higgins Clark, Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie, Hard Christmas by Barbara D'Amato. A Christmas Code , book 2 in the Code Breakers series, enabled me to incorporate historical Yuletide traditions, enriching the authenticity of this Regency espionage thriller.
