A Woman Trying to Survive

From the back of the book: Lord Leo Aikenhead -- renowned rake, skilled seducer and expert spy -- has finally met his match. For opera singer Sophie Pietre may have the voice of an angel, but she will be no man's strumpet--no matter how handsome he is! But these are dangerous times in Vienna, with betrayal and deceit round every corner. Sophie's tempted by the offer of protection and -- she can no longer deny it -- even more tempted by the offer of a place in his bed. This is the second in a series about the three Aikenhead brothers - Dominic, Leo and Jack - who are English gentlemen but also spies nicknamed Ace, King and Knave. The first book, His Calvery Lady, is the story of Dominic. This book is about Leo and the following book, His Forbidden Liaison, is about Jack. It is not necessary to read each book in order but nice to do so. I liked the story okay but not nearly as much as the one about Dominic. Even though Sophie has the most beautiful voice and is loved by her audiences, her life is one problem after another. Leo is instantly attracted to Sophie and in spite of himself can't get her out of his mind or his life. Life's twists and turns brings them together over and over.
