Description:

***He's Getting Tired of Deception...She Wants a Little Intrigue*** Baron Winslow Keating is honor-bound to finish one last mission as an elite spy for the Barbican group even though he just wants to go home and be with his family. But after years of secrecy and absence, his daughters hardly know him and his wife has given up on him. Lady Elinor has had enough of domestic boredom. She contemplates an affair with a rakish spy, only to discover a world of intrigue and treachery that she never knew existed. Even more shocking, her neglectful husband is suddenly very attentive-quite the jealous type-and apparently there is much more to him than she ever knew. **Lord and Lady Spy Trilogy: ** Lord and Lady Spy (Book 1) True Spies (Book 2) Love and Let Spy (Book 3) **Praise for Shana Galen:** "Galen strikes the perfect balance between dangerous intrigue and sexy romance."-*Booklist* "A thrilling ride, filled with mystery, intrigue and romance."-*Fresh Fiction* on *If You Give a Duke a Diamond* ** ### From Booklist Elinor Keating is tired of being ignored. Night after night, Elinor has waited patiently for her husband, Winn, to return home from work only to find that he has once again forgotten her. Well, if Winn would prefer spending all his time with his ledgers rather than his wife, so be it. Dressed in her most wicked gown, Elinor attends her friend Lady Ramsgate’s ball all by herself with the intention of finally allowing the scandalously handsome Rafe Trollope to dance with her. When Winn arrives home after another difficult day at work, he is shocked to discover that Elinor isn’t waiting for him. Upon arriving at the Ramsgate ball, Winn is even more shocked to discover his scandalously dressed wife flirting with another man! A husband and wife romantically reconnect while trying to stay one step ahead of a dangerously determined villain in Galen’s latest sexy historical romance, and the book’s lively pace, likable characters, and espionage-laced plot come together to create the perfect escapist read. --John Charles ### Review "Nngaging plot, snappy dialogue and likable characters... a charmer. 4 Stars" - *** RT Book Reviews*** "The book's lively pace, likable characters, and espionage-laced plot come together to create the perfect escapist read." - *** Booklist*** "The subtle humor that permeates scary scenes, love scenes, social scenes and more make *True Spies* a delight to read." - *** Long and Short Reviews*** "Both characters are admirable, deep, and at times hilarious.
