Synopsis
WHO IS SHE? Simon Quinn can have any woman he wants, but he prefers them jaded, worldly, and free of illusions. His life is one of danger and temporary pleasures. An Irish commoner, he has nothing more than his expertise as a lover and mercenary to recommend him and no title, property, or family to redeem him. Lysette Rousseau is a deadly beauty who can seduce or betray with equal skill. She should be just the sort of woman Simon entertains, but something about her sets him on edge. At times she is a femme fatale he cannot abide, at others she is warm, sweet, and irresistibly alluring. His reactions to both sides of her are equally powerful, but for opposite reasons. It seems almost as if there are two women in one... TWINS! ...one wounded and exploited, the other innocent but strong. Lynette Rousseau will do anything to reclaim the sister who doesn't remember her. She will gain the proficiency required to enter the underworld her sibling occupies. But how will she defend herself against the enigmatic, seductive Simon Quinn? A man who can liberate Lysette, but whose insatiable desires may ensnare Lynette forever...
Reviews
This is the story about Simon who was introduced in Passion for the Game. Simon was going to quit his job at being a spy and go to Spain, however his boss tells him that he is needed regardless of what Simon wants. After his lost job of escorting Lysette out, even though prior, he has no attraction towards her even though she offered. He finds her at the ball just as Lynette sees him and is bold about her attraction towards him. Lynette is grieving for her identical twin whom she thought died. She finds out thru Simon that her sister is alive. Simon tries to find out what's going on with lysette and due to her past history to why she turned out to be an ***assin. I thought it was ok, was expecting more out of Simon rather than focusing on other plots. I was disappointed that there weren't much scenes with Simon and lynette. There's no reason behind why Lynette loves him. The writer should have developed theire relationshp further before she fell in love.
