(He even has his own agenda, come to think of it.)Ĭummon. The British Spy Service has another agenda. And ba-zoing!! (Sound of Sexxy Times coming.)Ĭami has one agenda. Cami and Pax go way back - to when they were children. He also runs into Cami.Ĭami is another ambiguously double agent. He gets himself unmasked and heads back to London, where he just about immediately steps in the middle of a super-huge-evil-plot ™ (of course). You know how I write my stories with some French spies and some English spies and then there are one or two who turn out to be both. Without spoilers, what happens and why does she/he go rogue?!!! Old friendship turns to new love, and as Pax and Camille’s dark secrets loom up from the past, Pax is left with a choice-go rogue from the Service or lose Camille forever. Dusting off her spy skills, she sets out to track down a ruthless French fanatic and rescue the innocent victim he’s holding-only to find an old colleague already on the case. Lovely, lying, former French spy Camille Leyland is dragged from her safe rural obscurity by threats and blackmail. But instead of facing the gallows, he’s given one last impossible assignment to prove his loyalty. Now his sense of honor brings him back to London, alone and unarmed, to confess. Bourne's latest is less intense than previous installments, and she makes much of the comedy in the various characters' futile attempts to keep secrets from their fellow master spies.Ten years ago he was a boy, given the name Thomas Paxton and sent by Revolutionary France to infiltrate the British Intelligence Service.

Sinister plots are everywhere, as the blackmailer spins his elaborate schemes, Cami and Pax lay their traps, and their families and allies make their own plans. Cami and Pax were best friends as children and they meet again when Cami goes to meet a blackmailer who knows about her past.

Most of those children have grown up, renounced their pasts, and gone on to live quietly in England, but Pax, or Devoir, remains one of the stealthiest spies and assassins in the Service. She is actually V rit, one of the child-spies the French trained and slipped into British families.

Camille Leyland, one of the best code-breakers working for the British Service, has personal secrets as well as professional ones. The British and French hold an uneasy truce, but the French Revolution rages on. The latest Spymaster historical romantic thriller reunites Thomas 'Pax' Paxton with old friends Doyle (The Forbidden Rose) and Hawker (The Black Hawk).
