The Blades of the Rose are sworn to protect the sources of magic in the world. But the work is dangerous—and they can't always protect their own... Ready For Action London Harcourt's father is bent on subjugating the world's magic to British rule. But since London is a mere female, he hasn't bothered to tell her so. He's said only that he's leading a voyage to the Greek isles. No matter, after a smothering marriage and three years of straitlaced widowhood, London jumps at the opportunity—unfortunately, right into the arms of Bennett Day. Risking It All Bennett is a ladies' man, when he's not dodging lethal attacks to protect the powers of the ancients from men like London's father. Sometimes, he's a ladies' man even when he is dodging them. But the minute he sees London he knows she will require his full attention. The woman is lovely, brilliant, and the only known speaker of a dialect of ancient Greek that holds the key to calling down the wrath of the gods. Bennett will be risking his life again—but around London, what really worries him is the danger to his heart... Praise for Warrior: The Blades of the Rose "Crackles with adventure, a rich sense of place, and terrific characterization." —Mary Jo Putney "Zoë weaves a delightful spell...cleverly blending history and magic in new, delightful ways..." —Elizabeth Vaughan, USA Today bestselling author "An innovative and exciting romantic adventure with just the right touch of the paranormal..." —Jennifer Ashley, USA Today bestselling author

This is a really exciting, non-stop action story of Blades of the Rose agent Bennett Day and the leader of the Heirs of Albion's daughter, London Harcourt as they finagle their way through lots of clues and danger to find the Eye of Colossus (Greek Fire). I totally loved Victoria Regina Gloriana Lon...

Whatever didn't work in Warrior, worked in Scoundrel. Perhaps it was just the characters themselves. Our H, a veritable playboy, runs into our h, the daughter of the enemy (though he doesn't know it at the time) and is... obsessed with seeing her again? maybe? I dunno. Whatever he is, when he ...

I am happy to say that SCOUNDREL is even better than WARRIOR was! I loved Bennett and London together, and I really cannot wait for Astrid in the next book.
