The Orphan Pearl — Erin Satie

All's fair in love and war...

Lady Lily Spark has been missing, presumed dead, for years. Now she's back in England. She holds a secret that could change the course of history. And she has no intention of giving it -- or herself -- up to anyone.

John Tacitus Ware doesn't know Lily's secret. All he knows is that she has one -- and he'll have to win it from her if he wants to regain his place at the heart of British diplomacy.

John and Lily are playing a dangerous game, with war and peace as the stakes. But as John's ruthless ambition collides with Lily's skilled manipulation, the attraction between them may change the rules for good.
