Night of Secret Surrender, Gentlemen of Honor

Lovers reunite in Paris—on opposite sides of war—in this scorching-hot tale of passion and espionage in the Napoleonic Era.

As a teenager in England, Celeste Fournier gave her innocence to the man she loved before moving to France with her father. Years later, that same man, Major Summerley Shayborne, is in Paris—and in danger!

All of Europe has been transformed by Napoleon Bonaparte, and though France and England are bitter enemies, Celeste knows she must help Shay flee. Yet their dangerously intimate reunion makes her wish she could reclaim something of herself—to be the girl she was, the girl that Shay deserves.

Sophia James

Georgette Heyer novels formed Sophia James’s reading tastes as a teenager. But her writing life only started when she was given a pile of Mills & Boons to read after she had had her wisdom teeth extracted! Filled with strong painkillers she imagined that she could pen one, too. Many drafts later Sophia thinks she has the perfect job writing for Harlequin Historical as well as taking art tours to Europe with her husband, who is a painter.
