When Josette Sourantine visits her widowed sister-in-law
in London, she finds Celeste hosting twice-weekly salons for dancing,
flirtations, and gambling on cards.
With
a talent for whist, she is commanded by Celeste to have charge of the card
room. Very quickly she attracts attention
from the cynical rake Tobias Kennit as well as the handsome society prize Lord
Gordon Musgrove. Yet it is the
mysterious Giles Hargreaves who intrigues her.
Col. Giles Hargreaves, son of the Marquess of Grasmere (introduced in A Game of Secrets), has found the émigré spying for Napoleon, but he cannot arrest her until he
locates the source feeding her vital government secrets.
He attends the Sourantine salons hoping to
locate the man stealing the information for Celeste which she then smuggles to
France. He decides to dally with Celeste
only to be distracted by the lovely Josette.

As their mutual attraction turns into flirtation then
deepens into something neither wants to name, Josette is the spy’s
sister; how could she not be embroiled
in the betrayal of England?
Giles worries he is blinding
himself.
Josette
fears she is giving her heart to a man who is more of a rake than Tobias
Kennit. How can he love her when they
have known each other so briefly?
When the net begins to close around the spy and her
compatriots, Josette is caught up as well.
Will Giles lose her just when he’s given is heart to her?
A Regency suspense with a dash of romance, A Game of Spies follows A Game of Secrets, which is a complete
novel with no cliff-hangers. While
readers may find that reading the first novel creates a fuller experience, it
is not necessary to read it in order to enjoy this book. And while the trilogy concludes with A Game of Hearts, another novel that
stands on its own, A Game of Spies
does not end with a cliff-hanger.
