"The perfect choice for readers who like their historical romances sexy, action-packed, and just a tad different."-Booklist for My Lady Quicksilver ENEMIES. ALLIES. LOVERS. When her beloved father was assassinated, Lady Aramina swore revenge. The man responsible is well beyond her grasp, but his dangerously seductive heir, Leo Barrons, is fair game. When Mina obtains evidence proving that Leo is illegitimate, she has the means to destroy both the killer and his son, a man who troubles her heart and tempts her body. A woman of mystery, Mina's long driven Leo crazy with glimpses of a fiery passion that lurks beneath her icy veneer. He knows she's hiding something, and he's determined to unravel her layer by silken layer. He just doesn't expect the beautiful liar to be the key to overthrowing the corrupt prince consort...or to saving his own carefully walled-off heart. Praise for Bec McMaster: "Rich, dramatic, romantic, and dangerous..."-Publishers Weekly
