Synopsis

She's braved battlefields. She's stolen dispatches from under the noses of heads of state. She's played the worldly courtesan, the naÔve virgin, the refined British lady, even a Gypsy boy. But Annique Villiers, the elusive spy known as the Fox Cub, has finally met the one man she can't outwit...

British spymaster Robert Grey must enter France and bring back the brilliant, beautiful-and dangerous-Fox Cub. His duty is to capture her and her secrets for England. When the two natural enemies are thrown into prison, they forge an uneasy alliance to break free. But their pact is temporary and betrayal seems inevitable as the fates of nations hang in the balance.

Goodreads review by Jacob on September 05, 2017

This is a power-differential romance (which is a thing I just made up) and that brings in some uncomfortableness that can be hard to get past. By which I mean that Grey has Annique in his power and relatively helpless for much of the story. She is literally his prisoner to start and functionally so......more

I loved this book. Annique is my favorite type of heroine; clever, warm and brave. Her relationship with Grey was remarkably believable, with all of its twists and complications. And boy were there a lot of twists and complications! But the hero and heroine get their happy ending and I was left eage......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on August 01, 2013

Joanna Bourne has a wonderfully elegant style of writing that reminds me a bit of Laura Kinsale. With an adventurous plot, a crafty heroine, a sexy, domineering hero, and sexual tension that crackles, THE SPYMASTER'S LADY is simply gorgeous.......more
