“LONDON, 1812:
Giselle Barrington is living double life, juggling the duties of chef with
those of spy catcher. She must identify
her father’s savage killer before the shadowy man finds her and uncovers the
explosive political document her father entrusted to her safekeeping.
Posing as a French
cook in the home of Lord Aldridge, Giselle is surrounded by unlikely allies and
vicious enemies. In the streets where
she once walked freely among polite society, she now hides in plain sight, learning
the hard lessons of class distinction and negotiating the delicate balance
between servant and master.
Lord Aldridge’s
insatiable curiosity about his mysterious new chef blurs the line between civic
duty and outright desire. Carefully watching
Giselle’s every move, he undertakes a mission to figure out who she really is –
and, in the process, plunges her straight into the heart of danger when her
only hope for survival is to remain invisible. “
I totally fell in
love with this story and couldn’t put it down for a second. I was even walking
around the house holding the book while waiting for things to cook or the
kettle to boil. I’d not heard of this
author before and actually just picked up the book on a whim and I’m certainly
glad I did.
