title: One Night with a Spy (Royal Four, Book 3)
author:  Celeste Bradley 
description: When the other three members of the Royal Four--England's most secretive and powerful group of spies--arrive at Lord Aldus Barrowby's estate to meet his successor, they were expecting a man. Instead, the Cobra, the Lion, and the Falcon discover that the recently deceased Fox had been training his lovely young wife, Julia, to take his place. Before they are willing to accept Julia into their circle, the remaining members of the original Royal Four commission Marcus Ramsay to find out more about the unusual young lady. As the Lion's protege, Marcus had spent years waiting for his chance to join the Royal Four, and now he isn't about to let a mere woman, even the "Beauty of Barrowby," steal this opportunity away from him. The latest superb entry in Bradley's series has everything her readers crave: wit, a deliciously sensual romance between a delightfully original pair of protagonists, and a captivating plot expertly laced with intrigue and danger. <i>John Charles</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.

  James stirred in his slumping repose in the chair. His long hard body was
  stretched quite unselfconsciously before Phillipa, and she realized that for
  once she could look her fill.
  
  
  She leaned toward him to stare into his face, close enough to detect the
  brandy on his breath and the sandalwood on his skin. She shut her eyes for a
  moment and breathed deeply. Brandy and sandalwood and James.
  
  
  Opening her eyes, she gazed at the structure of his face. The firelight
  bronzed the strong cheekbone and jaw, and shadowed that dent just below his
  full bottom lip. Stubble darkened his cheeks, giving him a dangerous air even
  in sleep. Her fingertips itched to feel that manly roughness. Then, with great
  serenity, she noticed her hand reaching toward him.
  
  
  "Why, thank you, I do believe I will," she whispered to herself.
