Spies, thieves, codebreakers & counterfeiters: All three Secrets & Spies books in one set! TO STEAL A HEART A master spy and a beautiful thief find love and intrigue in each other’s arms. Forced to do the bidding of a corrupt government minister, tightrope-walking thief Marianne de Bonnard agrees to plant incriminating evidence in the offices of France’s most notorious spymaster. But when her wickedly handsome target appears—with an outrageous proposition—Marianne’s torn between fear and an unwelcome spark of desire. Nicolas Valette has plans for his graceful trespasser. Her unique skills make her perfect for his next mission, but she refuses his offer for fear of disobeying her family’s tormenter. When their mutual enemy auctions off her virginity to the highest bidder, Nicolas leaps at the chance to buy her cooperation. Both want revenge, but perhaps their joint adventures will uncover something even more delicious . . . A RAVEN’S HEART When bookish codebreaker Heloise Hampden cracks the enemy’s most recent code, French agents are sent to silence her. But it’s the agent assigned to protect her who poses the greatest threat to her heart: William de l’Isle, Viscount Ravenwood. Raven’s imprisonment has made him wary of love, but his heart still pounds whenever he’s within ten paces of Heloise. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if that means taking her to Spain as an unwilling hostage. Protecting her from danger will be a challenge; protecting her from desire will be pure agony. A COUNTERFEIT HEART As Sabine de la Tour tosses piles of forged banknotes onto a bonfire in a Paris park, she bids a reluctant farewell to her double life as a notorious criminal. She must escape France—or face the guillotine. Her only hope of surviving in England is to strike a deal with the very spy she’s spent her career outrunning. Richard Hampden, Viscount Lovell, will risk anything to protect England, even make a pact with the greatest counterfeiter in Europe, Philippe Lacorte. But when a cheeky, gamine-faced beauty proves herself to be Lacorte, Richard is shocked—and more than a little aroused. This cunning minx offers an irresistible challenge. Richard will help her. But in return, he wants something even Sabine cannot fake.
