Description

A man who has given his all in defense of the Crown encounters the one woman destined to make him understand he's allowed a life of his own.

Trystan Wilkes has secretly served the Crown for years. Josephine Adrys is the one woman he can't forget. She becomes an unwitting pawn in a cloak-and-dagger game with The Alchemist, once believed dead. As the threat of death shadows them, his only choice—protect the woman who owns his heart.

Jo knows what the tonne speaks of when they titter behind their fans. Wild child from Africa. Untamed. Swept into a world of danger and intrigue she works with the man she's loved for years—a temptation. Will being on the run and in close quarters allow him to see how perfect they are for one another?
