Royal Intrigue

by Deborah Chester

She was a beautiful foreigner who captured the fancy of England's Prince Regent -- the man she had come to kill! No one knew her true identity, but all marveled at the ease and insouciance with which Catherine de Bleu conquered Prinny's high-flying set.

Only Sir Giles Thorne guessed that she was more than she seemed...and vowed to seduce her to discover the truth. But Catherine had been blackmailed into murder by Napoleon himself. One false move and her beloved uncle would die. She could trust no one. But she hadn't reckoned on Giles, who would test her mettle, intrigue her spirit, and challenge her in passionate pursuit.
