An Englishwoman trained as a professional courtesan in the erotic secrets of the harem, Frances Woodard returns to Regency England from India. Nigel, Lord Rivaulx, the brilliant spy who wins her at dice, swears to resist her exotic allure. But treachery awaits, casting these two extraordinary people into a tryst with danger. Soon the intricate game of nations in London and Paris before Waterloo only mirrors their seductive game of desire.

Ex-spy Dominic Wyndham, Regency rake and gambler, confronts a passionate woman from the Highlands, who demands he return with her to Scotland on a mysterious quest after an orphaned child. He agrees on one outrageous condition: they will explore the seven deadly sins, one for each day of their journey. Her virtue and heart are the price of their wager, yet Catriona is more than a match for an Englishman.
