Thomas Pearce is a new diplomat. He is sent to France to rescue Sabine Rousseau who is the newly discovered illegitimate daughter of Britain's premiere.
As Thomas speaks perfect French, thanks to his Grandmother, he poses as a long-lost cousin bringing Sabine her inheritance. Sabine finds Thomas too attractive to think of as a relative and is released when Thomas tells her why he is in France.
Thanks to Sabine's uncle wanting to use Sabine as a ticket to curry favor with Napoleon, Sabine, and Thomas must make their escape. As the journey to safety, they pose as amorous newlyweds. It isn't too difficult of an act because they are wildly attracted to each other.
I loved this well written erotic historical romance. I liked Sabine. She was self-sufficient thanks to her beloved step-father providing her with horses to breed. Because of her business, she was very practical and wasn't the normal virginal heroine. The romance between Sabine and Thomas was intense. There was a point in the novel where I wondered how the author was going to give them an HEA. I did like the ending.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
