Lady Anastasia Whittig is a member of the Lady Spies, but it's always been in name only. Unlike her partners, she prefers the safety of her cellar laboratory to the dangers of the field. But when her best friend is shot and nearly killed, she has no choice but to uncover who is attacking His Majesty's Secret Agents. She's also forced to work side by side with Lucas Tyler, a master spy with personal reasons for his dedication to this case. But Lucas has doubts about Ana's abilities... and once they kiss, Ana begins to doubt that she could resist all the passion he has to offer, especially when they're forced into a masquerade that involves love and a future.
