Ian Maddox, aka the Wraith, is happy to leave his life as a spy--as soon as he discovers who has been trying to kill his friends. All clues lead him to the bedroom of an exiled princess. Yet Princess Juliana is not the simpering royal he sxpects, and this irresistible beauty agrees to give him the information he seeks for a price. Princess Juliana has never cowered--not even as she fled her burning castle in the midst of a rebellion--so she will not tremble before the darkly charismatic man who appears in her bedchamber and holds a knife to her throat. Instead, she bargains with the infamous spy to help her retrieve sensitive documents and restore her kingdom. But Juliana quickly finds that Ian is no humble servant, and she nver imagins that lessons in thievery will lead to schooling in seduction.
