Historical Romance. Lady Evelyn Hadley-Attwater, Countess of Waterston, is a proper Victorian lady and a devoted wife. She's also a former spy, something she's never told her beloved husband, Adrian. (Well, he never asked!) What Evelyn doesn't realize is that Adrian already knows about her career in espionage -- because he used to be her boss, the enigmatic "Sir," who communicated with operative "Eve" via correspondence. But when Evelyn is blackmailed into carrying out one last mission, she ends up risking both her marriage and her life. For a Regency-set variation on married secret agents, try Shana Galen's Lord and Lady Spy.
