From the Prologue: Marguerite Dumas, the legendary French spy known as the Emerald Lily, encounters her latest foe, Nicolai Ostrovsky, in the midst of a Venetian brothel...

 

From the back cover: She was exceptionally beautiful, and entirely deadly! The baseborn daughter of a courtesan and a lord, Marguerite was forced to fend for herself in the dangerous world of the French nobility--as the king's most feared spy.

 

Sent to the court of King Henry VIII in England, Marguerite found polite words and flattery concealed dark passions. Her only friend was her old enemy, the sensually tempting Nicolai Ostrovsky. And their sinful alliance seemed set to turn her from old loyalties to new desires!
