The Orphan Pearl

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.
