Publisher Description
Allies of the heart and soul . . .
England, 1803. The oldest foster child of the Earl and Countess Tremayne, Caden Tremayne was one of several abandoned children rescued into the fold of the “Tribe of Tremayne,” each bearing a special gift. Now that he is grown, Cade’s superior investigative abilities and talent for preventing violence—or when necessary, executing it—are urgently required by the Home Office. For after an all-too-brief peace, Britain and France are about to be at war again. But it isn’t the dangerous mission that concerns Cade. It’s his secret love for his sweet, bright, spirited accomplice . . .
Will their love be the victor?
Tamsyn Tremayne has always felt a deep connection to Cade, whose very presence warms her heart. Yet though they are not blood, their family relationship has led her to suppress her love for him. Still, their mental bond is undeniable—and only grows stronger, along with their feelings, when Cade is captured by the French. Tam knows that Cade will not be easily broken, yet only their meeting of minds can truly save him—and hopefully free them to be together at last. But first, she will have to navigate a treacherous maze of enemies and allies to find him, they will have to escape France—and block a devastating plot against Britain . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Peril and the paranormal come together in Putney's dramatic second Dangerous Gifts Regency (after Silver Lady). Tasked with escorting Britain's ambassador and his wife back home from Paris, Cade Tremayne, an adopted son of Lord and Lady Tremayne, is joined by his adoptive sister, Tamsyn, their oldest biological child, on the voyage across the English Channel. Cade and Tamsyn share powerful psychic abilities that tightly bond them together and help them get the ambassador and his wife to safety—but after France declares war on Britain, Cade is captured by French soldiers. Tamsyn refuses to leave Cade behind, and gets help from a similarly gifted French woman to find him at a chateau belonging to the villainous Claude Bastien, Cade's half brother. Claude tortures Cade both physically and mentally, taunting him with his repressed feelings for Tamsyn. Using her gifts, Tamsyn manages to lessen the impact of the torture and free her adoptive brother—but she's unprepared for an addled Cade to tenderly kiss her. Feelings awaken on both sides, but they are fearful of how their family will react to their romance. The taboo relationship will be hard to get around for some readers as well, but Putney makes the connection both mystical and sensual in nature. Meanwhile, the high-stakes foreign intrigue keeps the pages turning. This is a wild ride.
