A tale of secrets, sweethearts, and spies!Elizabeth Bennet's bedroom in the ancient tower of Longbourn has always been her private haven. So what are those footsteps and shuffling noises she's now hearing from the room above her head? Drawn from her bed one dark summer night, her clandestine investigations land her in the middle of what looks like a gang of French spies!William Darcy's summer has been awful so far, especially after barely rescuing his sister from a most injudicious elopement.
Then he is attacked and almost killed nearly at his own front door in one of the best parts of London. Luckily his saviour and new friend, Lord Stanton, has a grand suggestion-recuperate in the countryside and help uncover the workings of a ring of French spies, rumoured to be led by none other than country squire Thomas Bennet!Drawn together as they work to uncover the truth about the Frenchmen hiding in their midst, Elizabeth and Darcy must use all their intellect as they are confronted with an ingenious code machine, a variety of clockwork devices, ancient secrets and very modern traitors to the Crown.
And somewhere along the line, they just might lose their hearts and discover true love-assuming they survive what they learn in the Bennet affair. This is a full-length JAFF novel of about 112, 000 words.
