Waiting for a Spy to Fall

Miss Astara Smith has only wanted one thing in life - to be somebody. She was left on the steps of an orphanage when she was a baby and the quest for her true identity has been her sole purpose ever since. When she discovered The Lion Watch, she knew the long-awaited answers to her parentage would finally be answered with such resources at her disposal. However, it doesn't take long before it becomes apparent she has a natural ability to read people and learn their secrets, especially criminals.
She never makes a mistake-but when she does, it may just cost her dearly.           Knox Ancell, the Duke of Hampton, is rather stunned when a beautiful woman quite literally jumps into his carriage and starts making demands. He wants to be offended by her upstart attitude, but he finds it quite refreshing when compared to the proper ladies he's currently been pursuing. He's always had a rebellious streak of his own, but as a duke, he's been forced to subdue his darkest longings.
But he discovers that in Astara's arms, the attraction is instantaneous and he can finally be the man he's always yearned to unleash. However, when Astara's past starts to come to light, the passion between them is in danger of unraveling.
