O knihe

The murder of a marquis, an accidental kidnapping, an elite vampire death squad, and a beast stalking the French countryside? All in a day's work for a member of les Dames Dangereuses. As the most enviable comtesse of the tonne, Charlotte de Brionne was almost satisfied with her wealth, power, and tepid marriage, until her murderous husband betrayed her. Now she has seized the chance to make a more adventurous start with les Dames Dangereuses, an order of lady spies serving the French crown. Unfortunately, her latest assignment is rudely interrupted when she is kidnapped by a crossbow-wielding soldier, who happens to be rather surly and annoyingly handsome. Lieutenant Antoine de Valle has no idea what to make of the exasperating, untrustworthy, and frustratingly beautiful woman he's suddenly saddled with, but his honor demands he see to Charlotte's safety. Especially since it's his fault she witnesses him murder a marquis, lands on the wrong side of a brutal vampire death squad, and narrowly survives an encounter with the Beast of Gévaudan. In fact, the more Antoine tries to keep Charlotte safe, the more trouble they find themselves in. And the longer their journey lasts, the harder it is for Antoine to remember his honor in the face of Charlotte's dangerous charms.
