Summary"Pride and Prejudice lives on," (USA Today) "a fun
and zany time warp," (New York Daily News) "history
textbook meets Bridget Jones" (Marie Claire): Readers and
reviewers alike praise Lauren Willig's bestselling Pink
Carnation series for its passion, adventure, and
tantalizing stories of flower- named spies during the
Napoleonic wars.
Lauren Willig continues the exciting Pink Carnation
series with her fourth novel, The Seduction of the
Crimson Rose, featuring Lord Vaughn, the delightfully
devilish spy from The Masque of the Black Tulip, and
Mary Alsworthy, the raven-haired beauty whose sister
accidentally stole her suitor in The Deception of the
Emerald Ring.
Determined to secure another London season without
assistance from her new brother-in-law, Mary accepts a
secret assignment from Lord Vaughn on behalf of the Pink
Carnation: to infiltrate the ranks of the dreaded French
spy, the Black Tulip, before he and his master can stage
their planned invasion of England. Every spy has a weakness,
and for the Black Tulip that weakness is black-haired
women—his "petals" of the Tulip. A natural at the art
of seduction, Mary easily catches the attention of the
French spy, but Lord Vaughn never anticipates that his own
heart will be caught as well. Fighting their growing
attraction, impediments from their past, and, of course, the
French, Mary and Vaughn find themselves lost in the shadows
of a treacherous garden of lies.
As our modern-day heroine, Eloise Kelly, digs deeper into
England's Napoleonic- era espionage, she becomes even more
entwined with Colin Selwick, the descendant of her spy subjects.
