When newly-minted spy Lord Gideon Graylocke is asked to put his botany
skills to the test and concoct a serum vital to the defense of England, he
eagerly agrees. Never mind that he has to combine forces with F. Albright,
a crackpot scientist with whom he had recently been in a public feud. At
least he'll have a chance to prove this crackpot's theories are pure bunk.
Felicia Albright has been her own woman, answering to no one since the
age of seventeen. But when the Duke of Tenwick elicits her aid in helping
England, she can hardly refuse. Even more so when she finds out she'll be
working with the annoying botanist who has been trying to disprove her
research. What better way to help her country and prove that she is right?
But when things don't go as planned, Felicia and Gideon have to not only
fight their unwanted, growing attraction but also the evil-doer who seems
intent on sabotaging their work. Even worse, it can only be someone within
Tenwick Abbey that is trying to subvert their mission. Someone in their
midst is an enemy spy.
With their research in shambles and their lives in danger, Gideon and
Felicia realize they can only trust each other. Will they be able to perfect
the serum in time to protect England... and themselves?
