A Season of Rivalry and Romance: A Regency Spy Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798314783863)

Lady Eleanor Blackwood never forgave Viscount James Pembrooke for pushing her into a lake when they were children. Fifteen years later, their families are determined to end their feud, forcing these childhood enemies into each other's company once more.

James has returned from the Continent a changed man. Behind his diplomatic career lies a secret life of espionage and danger that has shaped him into someone Eleanor finds increasingly difficult to resist. As their childhood rivalry transforms into attraction, they begin to envision a shared future.

But when Napoleon escapes from Elba, James is called back to service and soon captured by French forces. With his life hanging in the balance, Eleanor embarks on a daring journey across war-threatened Europe to reach him. Meanwhile, Lord Bedford, Eleanor's persistent suitor, reveals dangerous ambitions that threaten not only James but England itself.

From London ballrooms to French prison cells, from bitter rivals to passionate lovers, Eleanor and James must overcome treachery and their own complicated past to find their way to each other-proving that sometimes the greatest love stories begin with an unexpected push into a lake.

Perfect for fans of Regency romance with a dash of espionage and an enemies-to-lovers twist.
