After her mother died, Miss Maya Barrington's father, an English lord, took her away from the warmth of India to cold inhospitable London. Her snobbish new stepmother sends Maya away to Stranje House, Britain’s most formidable reform school. But Headmistress Emma Stranje is secretly training her gifted students to navigate the dangerous world of spies, diplomacy, and war.
Once again, Maya's world turns upside down when Miss Stranje and the girls are drawn into Napoleon’s devious conspiracy. To protect the friends she now holds dear, Maya must serve as a double agent and use her uncanny gift of persuasion to thwart Napoleon's schemes. The only way she can gain entry into Napoleon’s treacherous spy game is on the arm of the elusive Lord Kinsworth.
Maya can read almost everyone; not so with this rascally young gentleman. Quick with a jest and armed with lethal charm, Lord Kinsworth remains just beyond her reach. Everything Maya thought she understood about life, love, and loyalty comes into question.
With Britain’s future teetering toward disaster and her friends’ lives hanging in the balance—does she dare trust him?
