Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp invites you back to Stonecliffe, where an unwelcome reunion between a lady and a rogue calls up old feelings…and new dangers.
When the love of her life left without any explanation, Annabeth Winfield moved on despairingly, knowing she’d never have a love as thrilling as her first ever again. Sloane Rutherford was roguish and daring, but as Annabeth grew up, she realized that their reckless romance was just a passing adventure, never meant for stability. Twelve years later, Annabeth is engaged to someone new, ready to start her life with a dependable man.
That’s when Sloane returns. And he brings with him a serious warning: Annabeth is in trouble.
After spending the past dozen years working as a spy, Sloane thought he’d left espionage behind him. But now a dangerous blackmailer is after Annabeth. Sloane offers to hide his former lover at Stonecliffe, the Rutherford estate, but stubborn Annabeth demands to be part of the investigation. As the two embark on a dangerous and exciting journey, memories of their past romance resurface. Sloane and Annabeth aren’t the wide-eyed children they used to be, but knowing they’re wrong for each other makes a nostalgic affair seem very right…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A former spy risks his cold heart to protect the woman he never forgot in bestseller Camp's immersive second Stonecliffe Regency romance (after An Affair at Stonecliffe). Sloane Rutherford is blackmailed into agreeing to spy for the Crown to prevent his beloved Annabeth Winfield from learning that her father is a traitor working for the French. Twelve years after this intrigue abruptly ended their affair, Sloane has a successful business in London—until his warehouse burns down. He initially believes his business rival is responsible, and fears the man will target Annabeth next, because she's still the thing he cares about most in the world. Annabeth, now engaged to the very proper Nathan Dunbridge, is shocked when Sloane reappears in her life to protect her and is distrustful of his concern, believing he callously abandoned her. The danger to Annabeth increases when she and her maid Judy are kidnapped, but the two manage to escape, and Sloane learns that "Judy" is really Verity, a fellow spy hired to find a supposed confession written by Annabeth's late father before he died. As the mystery escalates, attraction sizzles and romantic angst mounts between the leads. Readers will be hooked.
