On a cloud-shrouded night in November 1816, six-year-old Colin Fraser vanishes from the safe cocoon of his family's Berkeley Square home. For his father Charles, an idealistic MP, former intelligence agent, and grandson of a duke, and mother Mélanie, a beautiful war refugee and society's most charming hostess, it is a tragedy that will rip their extraordinary marriage asunder and force them to question everything they believe in. Colin's captors are demanding a bizarre ransom: an exquisite ring surrounded by the promise of power. The search for it will pull the Frasers into a maze of intrigue that winds through the lowest and highest levels of London secrets -- revealing layer upon layer of deception and betrayal, and a shocking truth that binds Charles and Mélanie inextricably together ... even as it threatens to destroy them both.

Tracy Grant made a stunning debut with Daughter of the Game, a suspenseful novel that lifted the curtain on the glittering world of Regency London, revealing a maze of intrigue and scandal, and introduced Charles and Mélanie Fraser -- a fascinating couple whose private lives are at odds with their public image. Now Grant returns with a sweeping new novel that explores the Frasers' partnership in adventure.
London, 1817: Under the cover of darkness, a cloaked stranger steals into the city. He has a job to do: a task that began in a shadowy past. It is going to be difficult. But then murder always is....On that same evening, London's beau monde is celebrating amid the splendor that is Glenister House. The Napoleonic Wars are finally at an end, and Mélanie and Charles Fraser, one of society's most intriguing couples, have traded the moment -to -moment dangers of war for the elegance of the British aristocracy.
Mélanie, a war bride, is an amateur on these civilized battlefields, where age-old alliances intertwine like melodies in a Mozart opera and carnality pulses just beneath a veneer with the sugar-coated beauty of a Fragonard painting.
Charles, a diplomat and intelligence agent during the war, is now a fast-rising Member of Parliament. He seems completely at ease in the world to which he was born, but Mélanie feels her husband has become a polite stranger.
Enter Honoria Talbot, the woman everyone expected Charles to marry. She would have made him a perfect wife -- as polished as sterling, as cool as marble.... On this evening the party assembled at Glenister House hears a shocking announcement: Honoria is indeed marrying a Fraser, but it's not Charles -- it's Charles's father.
This, however, is not the only stunning revelation of the evening. Beneath the glow of a silent moon, a hooded woman smuggles Charles and Mélanie a message from a former compatriot -- meet him tomorrow night at the terrace overlooking the river, off Somerset Place. At twelve o'clock....
The Frasers are swept back into their life of intrigue. Their investigation takes them from a crumbling Thames-side terrace to Charles's ancestral estate on the coast of Scotland . . . and it touches not only Charles's ruthless father and tormented sister, but also the seemingly perfect Honoria. They follow a trail of clues that leads back to the French Revolution and an underground organization called the Elsinore League.
The stakes in this game are high: the lives of those Charles holds most dear and the trust of the woman with whom he shares his life. For the web of lies he and Mélanie discover spans generations and threatens the fate of nations. And the truth is a deadly weapon that can lead to scandal, tragedy ... and murder.

He called it love. . . Emma Blair could not suspect the truth behind the English soldier who introduced himself as Robert Melton, Napoleon's enemy, Wellington's man. She couldn't know his secret mission, or the role she would unwittingly play. She knew only that he was irresistible--and dangerous--an officer who, like her own late husband, would put the call of the drum above all else. Unless she could blind him to duty and brand him with desire. . . . All he had was his wife's family ring and the memory of her brutal murder as he struck out to find the killer and uncover her shrouded past. Robert's obsession led him to Scotland, to the Blairs, to Emma, who stunned him with her resemblance to his dead wife, a woman she had never known. Here, in the midst of blood feuds and unspeakable family secrets, he would find his answers--even as he abandoned all caution for a love whose very enemy was truth. . . .
