Lady Solange Starling has a special skill. But catching spies within her cousin’s embassy has never presented a challenge…until now. One moonlit evening in a garden, Solange views a daring man she has not seen in years. A man she has never forgotten. A man, who even in his youth, carved his place in her life and her reverie. Monsieur Noir, he calls himself. And so he is, a man living in shadows, dark and dangerous to her heart. As the two of them join together to weed out the nemesis who attempts to destroy their fight against Napoleon, Solange and Noir learn how rich grand passion can be. Once more, they fight against cruel fate to give them what they most desire. Each other. Free of torment and loss. Free at last to love.
