Passion sizzles and a lie becomes the truth when a spy and a widow pose as lovers to pursue a dangerous man. Driven by duty . . . British spy Nathaniel Blackmore has one objective: apprehend an Englishman suspected of treason in France in the tumultuous year after the Napoleonic Wars conclude. Intrepid Scottish widow Isobel Graham, grieving the loss of her husband at Waterloo, is determined to find her missing younger sister. Her desperate search leads her to Paris on the fringes of Nathaniel’s investigation. Entangled by choice . . . Posing as lovers to infiltrate Paris’s most dissolute society, they plunge into ever-widening circles of vice, from an opulent gambling hall to a club catering to debauched desires. In a perilous world of shadows and lies, genuine attraction is a complication. Compelled by desire . . . Fueled by danger, their charade as lovers ignites into incendiary passion and something unexpectedly tender . . . except their relationship isn’t meant to last beyond the mission’s end.   Set in Paris, 1816, The Spy and the Nightingale is the first book in Lea Hollis’s spicy Sirens & Spies series.

A Fantasy Dark Lite Rom-Com that is a fast and fun read with a dark 1900s inspired fantasy world and plenty of steam and humor.

She's playing the cards she's dealt, about to take out her next target, but she's thwarted by the target's hot bodyguard. Their quick fight--with way more fondling than Ember intends, but he is all muscle and she has been rocking a hand for three months, a girl has needs--ends with them stumbling onto some magic that forces them into each other's worlds. Kael was born and, quite literally, beaten into the perfect shape of obedient soldier. He's kept to himself since becoming an adult, earning an honest living with all his privileges from being born under the sign of a Seraph. Until he lands into a 'situation' with gorgeous and goofy Ember that has him both questioning everything and ready to break Abstain to get his hands on her. Her world is nothing like he imagined, but maybe it's a chance he never knew he needed. Please note that this is a LITE dark romance. Content warnings are listed at the end of the book, but the themes are meant to be tame and balanced with humor. THROUGH YOUR EYES is the first in a series that can be read standalone, but reading in release order is suggested.
