She will never be broken again.



Lady Perdita Tinley—Dita to her loved ones—was raised to be the perfect aristocratic wife. Daughter of an earl, she had the best of everything. But, when the love of her life rejects her, her ideal life collapses around her.



Betrayed and abandoned, Dita swears off marriage. 



Still, her passionate spirit won’t accept the quiet spinster life. Determined to help her beloved brother – a key player in the fight against Napoleon – Dita transforms into the perfect spy. Beneath her elegant petticoats hides the mind of a general.



He’s desperate to resist her.



Dashiell West, Earl of Beldon, isn’t the marrying kind. Crushed by his father’s death, Dash turned his back on the ton. His life is a long, blurry series of gaming hells, debauchery, and dissipation. But, the life of a heartless rake may just be his last chance at salvation. When Dita’s brother – once Dash’s best friend – is taken hostage by the French, Dash’s seedy contacts are the only clue that can help save him.   



It just means being near the woman he cannot forget.



As Dash and Dita put their lives at risk, the stakes climb higher. Can they set their tortured past aside long enough to save the realm? 



Or will their dark history make them lose their lives – along with their shattered hearts?
