His Reluctant Mistress

HIS RELUCTANT MISTRESS

Book 2 of  Aikenhead Honours series

Lord Leo Aikenhead—playboy, rake, irresistible to women. Except one…

Leo becomes acting leader of the Aikenhead Honours in late summer 1814, when they are sent to spy at the Congress of Vienna, where most of the crowned heads of Europe are assembling to carve up the continent. Aided by his brother Jack and their friend Ben, Leo uses his reputation as a notorious rake to cover his spying activities.

For once, Leo's success with the ladies is not assured. He encounters Sophie, a woman who is more than a match for him. But there is increasing unrest in France and the Duke of Wellington wants his own spies on the ground there. Wellington orders the Honours' forces to be split—Jack and Ben to France, Leo to remain alone in Austria to defend England's interests.

Can Leo tackle all the intrigue alone?

And how much is he prepared to risk to rescue the woman he loves?
