Traitor In Her Arms

May 1, 2017
While searching for release from their secrets and redemption for their sins, two thieves become prisoners of their hearts in Galen’s adventurous romantic thriller set during the French Revolution. Ramsey, Lord Sedgwick, and Viscountess Gabrielle McCullough, the widow of Ramsey’s best friend, can’t seem to escape their pasts or each other. Both are forced into thievery—he’s at the mercy of a blackmailer, while she’s trying to pay her husband’s gambling debts—and they often find themselves crossing paths, which fans the flames of attraction. When the Scarlet Pimpernel requests assistance from Gabrielle, Ramsey (who’s been ordered by his blackmailer to discover the Pimpernel’s identity) insists on tagging along. Gabrielle wants to trust Ramsey, but fears she can’t; his growing feelings for her make it difficult for him to deceive her, even to save himself. Love and honor battle against fear and loathing. Despite the gruesomeness of the period, Galen (the Covent Garden Cubs series) has successfully created a touching love story, rife with rich descriptions and fascinating facts.
