All that stands between Viscount James Ashworth and a much-anticipated quiet retirement is one simple assignment: protect the Prince Regent at a holiday house party. But there's one thing the seasoned spy didn't count on-his childhood friend, Lady Gwyneth Beaumont, who has blossomed into an enticing, passionate hellion.
Gwyneth has a secret mission of her own: prove she's worthy of joining the Code Breakers, winning the heart of the hard-headed viscount she's loved since they were children. When her spying undercovers a secret so shocking the enemy would kill for it, she's thrown head-first into a dangerous world of intrigue and treachery.
With Ash by her side, Gwyneth is unstoppable. Soon the notorious rake realizes that the woman he'd always considered off-limits is his perfect match, this Christmas and forever after-if only they can survive long enough for that mistletoe kiss.
