A Harmless Lie and a Dangerous Spy (Harmless/Dangerous Stories)

By Lori Bond

A Runaway Bride. An Heir to a Duke. A Russian Spy. What Could Go Wrong? Lady Caroline Stravers, only daughter of the Earl of Wickshire, does not want to marry the crude, older man her parents have chosen for her. In the early hours of the morning she sneaks out of her fashionable London home to runaway for Paris or America or perhaps Australia.Jerry, Viscount St. David, has been sent by his father, the Duke of Danvers, to catch a Russian spy who stole plans for a new style of bayonet. If the Russians manage to get the plans, this could very well turn the tide of the Crimean War.When the two meet one another at Paddington Station, Caroline agrees to help Jerry track down the spy in return for passage to New York City. The two strike a bargain, and the next day board a steamship bound for America--and rumored to hold the Russian spy.Wars, lives--and hearts--are on the line, but working in such close quarters leads both Caroline and Jerry to discover feelings neither expected. Will their new relationship lead to a stronger bond or jeopardize their mission?
