When Napoleon Bonaparte is exiled to Elba, widow Letty Grey takes advantage of the peace to visit France. Escorted by an old friend of her husband’s, sometime British spy, Viscount Leomer Byesby, Letty finds the trip riven with surprises from start to finish. She stays with Lillias, a former actress, who is dying from consumption, and both Leomer and Letty work hard to make her last days full of happiness.
With Napoleon’s unexpected return to Paris, things are no longer safe for a British spy, nor his companions. As an old adversary of Leomer’s closes in, Letty and Leomer must ultimately take to the catacombs of Paris.
I was born in the usual manner and grew up, but only to 5'4". I planned to be a civil engineer or a sports coach or a forensic scientist until I got married, but I got married first and caught a chronic illness shortly thereafter, so I started painting and writing to stop myself going stir crazy. I write what I like reading. Life's too short to take it too seriously, and I'm here to have fun with my writing as with everything else. I do like writing series because I gain a fondness for my characters and want to pursue their adventures further. I always wanted to do this with books that I read, which is why perhaps my first serious forays into writing were through fanfiction, even though it wasn't called that back before the Internet when I started writing it!.
Paris, spies, an older heroine and hero, and much more. Violets also play a distinct role. There's plenty of action with a side of romance in this addition to the author's Brandon Scandals series!
