Publisher's Summary

From USA Today best-selling author C. J. Archer, this romantic historical mystery will take your breath away.

Seven years ago a woman with too many secrets and a man with too many lies fell in love. Then she left him.

Isabel's quiet life as an assistant to one of London's famous apothecaries hides a deadly secret. A secret that could see her put on trial for witchcraft if the authorities uncover the truth. But when the authority figure who turns up at her shop is Sir Nicholas Merritt, she's at risk of losing more than her life. She could lose her heart and soul, and the man she loves.

Royal spy Sir Nicholas Merritt can't believe his luck when he stumbles upon Isabel during an investigation. He's been searching for her for seven long years and now he has her again, in his bed and his life. Except she's resisting all the way. Worse still, she's somehow tangled up with a plot to assassinate the queen. To hold onto her this time, he must find out why she left him while hiding a secret of his own that could tear them apart forever.

Terrible narrator

Disliked the narration and found the story a bit inane. Only really listened to it because I suddenly couldn’t return it and I had no credits.

loved it

i love C.J Archer's writing style and this book is no exception.
the storyline was well paced and the characters were well developed.
the narration was excellent and would recommend to anyone who like a paranormal that is different to the mass produced drivel that is clogging up kindle and audible.

Narrator has a lisp

The narrator's lisp was quite distracting, which detracted from the overall performance. I did enjoy the story.

Give it a miss

I really wanted to like this book having read numerous others by this author. The story concept is good but the character development poor. At all turns the obsession with throbbing ‘yards’ and tented trousers was mind numbingly eye-rolling and boring innuendo. A powerful witch who could have got herself out of any situation with her power and a spy for the queen obsessed with sex at every turn, even in a fight and when fleeing disaster. Give me a break! Every time the characters and plot started to get interesting we ended up with a mewling maiden submitting to a bloke who couldn’t keep it in his pants and didn’t resonate as a skilled spy. Give it a miss if you want a good story. Give it a read if you don’t care about plot and character development and just want a steamy romance with no substance, lots of ‘throbbing’ and paper cut out characters.
