For years, Lady Julia Barrowby had been helping her husband, the elderly and ailing Lord Barrowby, with his work. Lord Barrowby was a member of the Royal Four, a group of noblemen-spies, sworn to defend the Crown. But now Lord Barrowby is dead, and because he had trained Julia as his apprentice and because she had been doing his work for him all throughout his ailment, Julia believes that she has earned the right to be considered as her dead husband's natural replacement. The trouble is that the remaining members of the Royal Four already have a replacement in mind for her husband, Marcus Ramsay, and they are somewhat reluctant to consider her in Marcus' stead. Julia is determined to claim her rightful place, and to make these stubborn men see sense. The last thing she expected though was that they would send Marcus to spy on her incognito. Or that the devastatingly handsome Marcus would slip under her guard, win her heart, learn her secrets and use them against her...
