Lord and Lady Spy

An unhappily married couple%E2%80%94not Mr. and Mrs. Smith but Lord and Lady Smythe%E2%80%94discover that they're both secretly secret agents in this enjoyably overblown Regency adventure. Sophia Galloway is the daughter of one of Britain's most legendary spies and a spy in her own right. Her husband, Adrian, is also a spy, trying desperately to make up for his father's traitorous misdeeds. When the Napoleonic War ends, both are left jobless. Each leaps at the chance to tackle a top-secret mission, but when they recognize each other at the midnight meeting, a heated game of intrigue and one-upmanship begins. The James Bond%E2%80%93esque heroics alternate with a surprisingly sensitive take on a young couple trying to cope with infertility, arranged marriage, and years of secrecy. Galen makes it all work with plenty of action on the street and in the bedroom. (Sept.)
