Amanda Quick's best-selling trademark is a combination of suspense and passion in historical tales alight with sparkling wit and brimming with dangerous intrigue. Now she serves up the most tantalizing novel of her career as an enterprising woman allies herself with a mysterious spy, only to be caught in a seething brew of treachery - and temptation....
From the moment he burst into her antiquities shop in Rome, Lavinia Lake knew the stranger was nothing but trouble. He said he was in pursuit of a killer. He swore he was only trying to save her. Yet no matter what he claimed, Lavinia was convinced that Mr. Tobias March was bent instead on destroying her. And when the self-described spy hustled her and her niece out of the shop and back to England, Lavinia could only hope that one day she would would find a way to repay Mr. March in full.
But Lavinia never imagined the shocking circumstances under which they would meet again...or that soon he would become more deadly - and more compelling - with each passing day.
In the business of making private inquiries, Tobias March had been hired to trade down a powerful villain who even now was intent on assuming control of a vast criminal organization. Yet in his search he had found nothing but one dead end - and one dead body - after another.
And then, just as his investigation was heating up once more, he found his mission and his life complicated by the most ungovernable, unpredictable, exasperating woman he had ever met.
Faced with a tangled web of deceit and danger, Tobias had no choice but to form a partnership with Lavinia, a lady whose past could only be described as slightly shady. Yet when he persuaded her to become his associate, neither Tobias nor Lavinia realized that their heated disputes would spark a sizzling desire - or that the deeper they kept digging for the truth, the deeper they were digging their own graves....

I took a chance on this book since its the only version available. This book is the first in a trilogy about these characters, and I had read this one but not the others. I got all three from audible, thinking that since I had read this one years ago I could at least get a feeling for the characters again. I was very pleased that all the major plot points were covered.
Great book I really enjoyed it, they did a great job! Really brought the characters to life!
Be sure to get Late for the Wedding, and Don't Look Back for more on Lavinia and Tobias.
Great book

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I like a good story but grphic sex doesn't do a thing for me. Too bad, it could have been a moderately interesting story but I'm a rated G kind of person. Not for me or those who like me don't need the sexual innuendo or description.Too erotic for me
