This book focused way too much on the war between England and France especially Napoleon Bonaparte. This is one aspect of historical romances that I try to avoid unfortunately, I missed it with this one or I wouldn't have purchased it. Anyway, it was a pretty good story, though the hero/spy Gray Dalton wasn't very heroic. He played on his turns and the hell with everyone else. The heroine wasn't very noble either playing one side against the other. Devon is a traitor's daughter with cipher and musical abilities and a spy. Gray is a cipher as well and a spy. They need each other to complete the mission for England but the animosity and back stabbing got old real fast. All in all and OK book but definitely not something worth re-reading.
