The first strange thing Charles discovers is Lady Penelope Selborne, neighbor and ex-lover, marching through his house after midnight. Years ago, Charles and penny shared one fabulously passionate interlude, but ever since, she’s managed to avoid him. Now Charles uncovers a web of Selborne family secrets and a spy network others are also searching for, and trapped in the middle is Penny, the one lady he had never ceased wanting for his own.
