Killian Crewes has found his place in court by serving as the fixer for the royal family, yet their most recent request of him is unusual. He is to seduce and distract the exiled French princess living at court with the Queen’s daughters. Princess Regine Elise Adelaide d’Orleans has appreciated the safety that the British royal court has offered her, but when she catches a glimpse of her brother, who was separated from her when they were smuggled out of France during the revolution, she finds that the royal family has begun to see her as a problem. Not only is she blocked from asking about her brother, but they have ordered their royal fixer to trail her, pretending to become her special friend. Elise is not sure if she can trust Killian, but she knows that she must resist his charms if she wants to find her brother.
VERDICT The first in a new series by Michaels (A Duchess by Midnight), this is a slow-burn historical with enough adventure and intrigue to keep readers turning pages until the happy ending. Fans will anxiously await the next sibling’s story. Hand to fans of Mary Balogh and Eloisa James.
