Once a Spy

by Mary Jo Putney

As a long lost and unrequited love is rekindled, Napoleon strikes again, bonding the new lovers even tighter than before.

Suzanne has suffered much over the years after first meeting her now husband… when they met they were celebrating her wedding to his second cousin. Content at being friends they continued on in their live, until tragedy and war brings them together again. No longer a fresh young bride, Suzanne is weary of committing to another man after suffering so much at the hands of men… can a marriage of convenience and friendship bring her the peace and security she desires… or will other desires come back to her?

Simon Duval has retired from his commission after the Emperor Napoleon is exiled away. He now wants to settle down and manage his estates. After receiving news of his distant cousins widow living in London, he is immediately drawn to her. War has diminish all of his desires, but upon seeing her he finds himself drawn to her… knowing that she will not welcome a traditional marriage after what she has experienced and still needing to have her by his side, he proposes a marriage of friendship.

Soon their friendship is put to the test with the return of desire and the outbreak of war. Can they work together to navigate these times of political turmoil? Perhaps, together they will prove to themselves that they are stronger than they ever knew they could be.

An excellent story of true love, political intrigue, and inner strength. The way Putney handles Suzannes previous trauma, along with Simons kind support, make this story well worth the read. Plus, al the political excitement is a lot of fun too! Another great book in the Rogues Redeemed series!

The fourth book in the Rogues Redeemed series, Once a Spy by Mary Jo Putney is due to release September 24th, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books and Zebra Romance through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
