His greatest battle is just beginning . . .
Captain Harry Lidge has done his duty. After losing too many good men on the battlefield, he’s ready to put his responsibilities behind him and live a life free of care. But first he has one last mission: find out what the most outrageous woman in London, the same woman who betrayed him nearly a decade earlier, is concealing, before her secrets take down the crown.
Her heart is the only thing she won’t risk . . .
Surrounded by ardent admirers and a few loyal friends, Lady Kate Seaton glides through the ton on a confection of couture gowns and bon mots. No one suspects that beneath her lighthearted faΓ§ade Kate hides a sorrow so scandalous she’ll do anything to keep it hidden. But only when she trusts Harry with the truth and only when he trusts her with his heart can they stop the villains all too willing to kill Kate to attain their ultimate goal: destroy England

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Kate a strong willed woman. Whom just want’s to in control of her own life for once and not leaving it in the hands of the men in her life.
Harry, wants get out of the military and just travel the world studying the architecture of buildings.
Kate and Harry are thrown together when one of their friends get shot. Harry thinks Kate has something to do with it and tries to force her to reveal what she knows. When it turns out she knows nothing. Harry and Kate are going everything they can to figure out what is really going on.
Kate has very few people that she can truest. Her family had always treated like an outsider. While Harry Had a very loving family that Kate was drawn to when they were younger. Harry and Kate slowly start rebuilding their relationship, regaining the trust the used to have in each other.
The relationships between the characters is intense and a bit emotional. You can really feel the emotions coming off the page with a lot of the interactions. I really loved the relationship between Kate and her late husbands sister Bea. They lean on each and were the only person who understood what the other was going threw.
The Relationship between Kate and Harry was intense and passionate. Their desire for each other was was so strong it practically jumped right off the page.Β 
I really enjoyed how the whole story progressed. The Mystery part of the plot was amazing it kept me on my toes the whole time.Β 
I give Always A Temptress Five Cocktails.
