Grey Sommers, sang Lord Wyndham, tidak pernah bertemu dengan bahaya atau kesulitan yang tak bisa diatasi dengan kharismanya. Sampai tiba waktunya Grey terlibat kisah cinta terlarang dengan seorang istri pejabat di Prancis saat melakukan sebuah tugas spionase. Ia harus membayar itu semua dengan sepuluh tahun terkurung di penjara kastil dan hampir gila. Tetapi, tantangan terbesarnya justru mata-mata misterius yang dikirim untuk membebaskannya—satu-satunya wanita yang akan menyembuhkan jiwa Lord Wyndham. Cassie the Fox kehilangan hampir segalanya selama kekacauan revolusi. Yang tersisa adalah tekad untuk menghancurkan kerajaan Napoleon. Cassie telah dikirim dalam misi pencarian fakta ke Prancis untuk menyelidiki rumor bahwa Gray Sommers masih hidup. Setelah sekian lama tanpa kata-kata, pewaris gelar Wyndham telah dihapuskan oleh banyak orang, tetapi beberapa orang terpilih masih percaya dalam hati mereka bahwa orang yang bertekad seperti itu dapat bertahan hidup apa pun. Kecerdikan Cassie dan kemampuannya untuk berbaur menemukan bahwa Lord Wyndham sebenarnya masih hidup dan dipenjara di Castle Durand. Ketika dia menemukan kesempatan dalam satu juta untuk benar-benar membebaskan Grey, dia mengambilnya, melarikan diri dengan Lord Wyndham yang tidak dapat dikenali dan pendeta yang menemaninya. ‘Menyelamatkan Grey’ hanyalah salah satu misinya. Ia tak pernah menduga, pria dengan keindahan seperti malaikat, yang putus asa akan keberanian dan penuh kerentanan, dapat mencairkan hatinya yang selama ini beku. Tapi, si mata-mata dan sang lord dipisahkan teluk yang sulit dicapai saat menjalankan misi terakhir yang paling menakutkan.
