Perfect for fans of the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn

In mourning over the death of her beloved Father, the beautiful Belinda Lanwick hides away from the dinner party hosted by her cousin. However, as the guests are leaving, she lays eyes on the exceedingly handsome Lord Ian Cheddington, considered the most eligible bachelors in London. Just at that moment, Belinda overhears an indiscreet conversation between her cousin and a Countess. The Countess speaks of a Russian Princess in London who is doing everything she can to attract Lord Ian, and what is more Princess Natasha is suspected of being a Russian spy.

When Belinda receives a letter from her sister suggesting she visit her in London so they can go shopping together to buy Belinda a new wardrobe for when she comes out of mourning, she decides to go. However, when she arrives she finds that she is on her own most of the time because her sister is so busy.

One morning Belinda sees an advertisement in The Times for a lady’s maid to Princess Natasha. Remembering the conversation she overheard at her cousin's party, and with a strong sense of patriotism, Belinda feels strongly that she must defend her country and so applies for the position and begins work immediately. Once inside the Princess’s house, Belinda cleverly finds a way of overhearing what is said when the Princess entertains a suspicious visitor. Hearing that Lord Ian is in grave danger, she has to find a way to warn him.

How Lord Ian is almost given a new and powerful drug that would make him unknowingly reveal vital State secrets. How he and Belinda travel to Marseilles to find where this evil drug is made. And how Belinda is frightened and upset by what then happens, but finds the true love she has always been seeking is all told in this romantic and exciting novel by BARBARA CARTLAND.
