School is in session at The Lady's School for Spies and the stakes have never been higher!

Miss Emmaline Rothsby finds herself feeling like something is missing from her well-ordered life. From growing up as the vicar's studious daughter she feels like she has never truly gotten out in the world. Sure, teaching women spies how to create explosions at the Lady's School for Spies is not for the faint of heart; she still thinks there is something more out there that she is meant to do.

For Lord Roderick Tinley, life has been a barrage of smoke and mirrors. Keeping the true state of his home life cloaked behind an impenetrable veil no outsider can see through has been a constant struggle. Even his beloved sister doesn't know the extent of the abuse he's suffered at the hands of their father.

When he finds himself finally rescued after being captured and tortured by the French, he thinks that playing it safe and sticking close to home while he recovers is the best bet.
He is shocked to discover that the person wanting to help him recover from his injuries is his sister's bookwormish best friend, Emmy. Little does he know, Emmy has decided to put her books down and through a series of events finds herself embroiled in the middle of a treacherous plot.

Roddy finds himself drawn to the rebellious chemistry teacher, and when he learns she's in danger he rushes to her side.

For the adventurous couple, love is just an alluring adventure.
