French by birth but enjoying life in 1813 as a widowed English countess, Lady Celine Wexham is in the unique position of being able to help those in need --- or to spy for the notorious Napoleon Bonaparte. Rees Phillips of the British Foreign Office is sent to pose as the countess's butler and discover where her true loyalties lie. But the longer he is in her fashionable townhouse, the more his staunch loyalty to the Crown begins to waver as he falls under Lady Wexham's spell.
A Note from Carol
Thus far this year has been a fabulous one for readers. And reading ahead I will share that there are more great books ahead!
Tell us your current reading recommendations with your comments and a rating of 1 to 5 stars. During the contest period from June 7th to June 21st, FIVE lucky readers each will be randomly chosen to win a copy of THE KING'S DECEPTION by Steve Berry, THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE by Neil Gaiman, and THE WIDOW WALTZ by Sally Koslow.
With summer blossoming before us, now is the time to sit back, relax, and enjoy all the wonderful movies, TV shows and DVDs that will be coming your way in June. World War Z starring Brad Pitt is a must-see, and the book on which it is based is a hot and enticing read. Meanwhile, Shakespeare's classic comedy is given a contemporary spin in Joss Whedon's feature film, Much Ado About Nothing. Perhaps Man of Steel will be enough entertainment this month, but so could the classic comics that serve as the movie’s inspiration.
