Melissa Schroeder's THE SPY WHO LOVED HER

Melissa Schroeder is celebrating a new release, THE SPY WHO LOVED HER. This is the third book in her Once Upon an Accident series, and while it's difficult to choose a favorite of the three, this likely is mine. The beautiful cover is a little bonus, don't you think? Melissa is an author that I think every single romance reader on the planet should be familiar with. She's one of the handful of authors I'd love to meet in person some day. Melissa is extremely talented and is quick to offer friendly, no nonsense advice to those who are interested in trying their hand at writing/getting published.
This series combines historical romance and romantic suspense, two of my favorites! The passion and sensuality are richly heated and the characters and their motives are strong throughout. You all know that romantic suspense has long been my favorite sub genre and Melissa has done an excellent job of surrounding believable historical settings and characters with dark, mysterious back story and suspense.

About the book:
To keep her safe, he will not only have to risk his life, but also his heart.

Lady Anna was once considered the catch of the season. Now, three years after she fell for a man who tried to murder her cousin, she eases her guilt with charity work at an orphanage. Until her mother insists she do her duty.
Attending her cousin’s ball is irritating enough. It’s her one dance with Daniel, the unscrupulous Earl of Bridgerton, that rubs her nerves raw. And oddly leaves her senses on the edge of arousal.
The ton sees Daniel as a scoundrel. In truth, like centuries of Bridgertons before him, he leads a vast network of spies, protecting England from her worst enemies. His resolve never to marry means the one woman he’s always wanted—Lady Anna—is off limits. Especially now that his father’s murderer is coming after him as well.
At first, Anna wonders if Daniel was put on this earth just to annoy her. It’s only when she finds him injured that his mask begins to fall away—and so do the barriers between them. But their flaring passion puts her right where Daniel didn’t want her. Next on a killer’s list.

Here's a link to Samhain so you can order your copy. Trust me on this, OK? You absolutely want this book!

To celebrate Melissa's release of THE SPY WHO LOVED HER, I'm giving away a digital download of the first two books in this series, THE ACCIDENTAL COUNTESS (#1) and LESSONS IN SEDUCTION (#2), to one lucky reader. These books all stand alone, but I truly believe that reading them in order makes for an even more satisfying reading experience.
