Hugh D'Abernon, Marquis of Darley, was in Sevastopol for one reason only: to reconnoitre the town for the British Secret Service. So if he encounters a woman of unparalleled beauty in need of his help, he will do his duty and smartly escort her back to town - then continue on his way. He will not consider being diverted from the task at hand. No matter how tempting the lady. Aurore Clement was unaccustomed to being so susceptible to a man's good looks. From afar, prudence is simple enough, but in close proximity, it is quite a different matter. She would have to keep her distance and focus on more important concerns - like her work with the French command. But when the two meet again, there is no stopping the fierce passion that ignites between them.
