Discover the first romance in New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood’s beloved Crown’s Spies series!
Christina Bennett has taken London society by storm but the ravishing beauty has kept her mysterious past shrouded in secrecy. When the arrogant nobleman, Lyon, Marquis of Lyonwood, steals a sensuous kiss, however, he believes he tastes the wild fire smoldering beneath Christina’s cool charm and swears to possess her.
But the feisty and defiant Christina cannot be so easily conquered. Mistress of her own heart and fortune, she resists Lyon’s passionate caresses and refuses to surrender to his desire for if she does, she must also forsake her precious secret and her promised destiny. With her “straightforward style and brisk pacing” (Kirkus Reviews), Julie Garwood’s classic romantic series is perfect for fans of Jude Deveraux and Julia Quinn.
The Lion’s Lady is book one in Garwood’s Crown Spies series. This story is intricately written with details of not just London in the early 1800’s, but also of the American west. Christina Bennett is a captivating heroine who hides her identity from the hero the Marquis of Lyonwood. She intrigues him almost to the point of obsession. This story has several well written villains who I loved hating. It also has quite a few steamy scenes. Another brilliantly written romance.
