When a Mexican heiress defies Victorian society to protect her country a British war hero makes it his new mission to protect her…
Isabel Luna Valdés has long since resigned herself to being the “forgotten” Luna sister. But thanks to familial connections to the Mexican ambassador in London, wallflower Isabel is poised to unearth any British intelligence hidden by the ton that might aid Mexico during the French Occupation. Though she slips easily from crowded ballrooms into libraries and private studies, Isabel’s search is hampered by trysting couples and prowling rogues—including the rakish Captain Sirius Dawson.
As a covert agent for the British Home Office, Sirius makes a game of earning the aristocracy’s confidence. He spends his days befriending foolish politicians and seducing well-born ladies in order to learn their secrets. But after he spies a certain sharp-tongued Luna sister lurking in the shadows where no proper debutante should venture, it’s clear Sirius is outmatched, outwitted, and soon to be outmaneuvered by the one woman he can’t resist.
Their mutual attraction is undeniable, but when Isabel discovers private correspondence that could turn the tide of political turmoil in Mexico, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to protect her country—even if this means ignoring her heart and courting danger...

      De la Rosa’s satisfying second Luna Sisters Victorian romance (after Ana María and The Fox) allows middle sister Isabel her chance in the spotlight. Isabel and her sisters were forced to leave their native Mexico for England. Now, Isabel is determined to help her homeland fight against the French occupation. Undercover of the London Season’s various social events, Isabel searches studies and bedrooms of the powerful for any British intelligence that might prove useful. Her amateur sleuthing is hindered by Capt. Sirius Dawson, a decorated war hero and Home Office agent who’s after the same intel as Isabel—and also hopes to keep her safe during her mission. Attraction ignites as the pair are forced into tight quarters to avoid being detected, but Isabel hopes to return to Mexico as soon as she can, which means their passion can only be temporary. De la Rosa expertly captures the Luna sisters’ dynamic, exploring how, as the middle sibling, Isabel is often overlooked and highlighting her pluck and determination to find a purpose within a society rife with both gender and racial discrimination. Readers will have no trouble rooting for this worthy heroine to get her happy ending.

      Starred review from September 1, 2024

      Determined not to be the "forgotten" Luna sister, Isabel Luna Vald�s's only goal is to discover any British intelligence useful to her home country of Mexico, currently under French occupation. Being a wallflower has its uses, as no one seems to notice her during the sparkling London season, and Isabel is free to search for information in secret. However, at least one person, Captain Sirius Dawson of the British Home Office, has espied her slipping away. Also conducting covert assignments, Sirius secretly pines for the one Luna sister who matches his wit, but now Isabel is convinced he is nothing but a rake. When Isabel and Sirius's secrets finally collide, so too does their chemistry. But above all, Isabel is determined to aid Mexico, making a forever love seemingly out of the question. VERDICT Ruby Hunt returns to narrate the second installment in De la Rosa's "Luna Sisters" series (following Ana Mar�a and the Fox), using her seasoned talent to portray the many voices of the large cast of characters, capturing especially Captain Dawson's warm British accent and Isabel's Spanish-inflected English. Libraries should plan on stocking the complete series for historical romance readers.--Elizabeth Gabriel
