James Burnel has returned to life! As Harrison, this former agent of the War Office unmasked French spies, saved the lives of countless British soldiers, and ultimately helped Britain defeat Napoleon. However, all of that means nothing to him when he looks back at what he lost. An arranged marriage seemed only that at the time, but he has seen his fiancée struggle through the most trying years, and somehow she captured his heart. Miss Elizabeth Halivee is not sure who she is any more. Once engaged to the young and dashing James Burnel, his death made her feel like a widow. Years later she found herself married—albeit illegally—to Lord Maybree, a rake and a traitor. Now free from that abusive man, she is faced with her greatest challenge yet. Can she remove her widow’s mask, and give James another chance with her heart? Even if he can convince Elizabeth that her heart is safe with him, James may not be able to protect her life, or his own. The woods around Greystone Hall hold more than shadows, and the nightmare within cannot be vanquished by dawn’s first light… The Widow's Mask now includes To Love A Spy, a short story previously published as part of After the Masquerade. What happens when a French spy takes off her mask? Isabel Armistead, formerly the notorious agent known as Tygre, is determined to return to a path of righteousness. Her past as Tygre haunts her every waking moment, but her nights are reserved for the remembered pain of why she turned to Renard, one of Napoleon’s top spies. With Renard dead and Napoleon gasping for his final breath as emperor, Isabel takes solace in the faith granted her by the Silver Beaver, Britain’s leading spymaster. The Silver Beaver believes that she can reform her ways, and she can only hope that he is right. Roderick Green, faithful agent of the Crown, disagrees with the Silver Beaver’s assessment, but that does not stop him from following orders. His past is scarred by the realization that no woman can be trusted, and he refuses to let Tygre’s sudden determination blind him to the dangerous vixen he knows she will always remain. When she shows a stubborn compassion to assist a former British spy who is in the grasp of a rogue French agent, he has to learn to trust the woman he is so determined to despise. Loving a spy is never easy, especially for a fellow spy…
