An English spy and a French officer’s widow are caught up in intrigue and passion under the Egyptian sun in this historical romance. Falling unconscious in the Egyptian sand at Cleo Valsac’s feet is not part of Lord Quintus Bredon Deverall’s plan. He’s supposed to be whisking this young widow away from her father’s dusty camp and back to England—to her aristocratic grandfather and a respectable husband. Despite Cleo’s strong-willed nature, she can’t help but feel comforted by Quin’s protective presence. But she has no idea of this wounded stranger’s true identity . . . or of the passion that will begin to burn between them under the heat of the desert sun! Praise for Beguiled by Her Betrayer “Louise Allen makes excellent use of both an unusual setting and some interesting historical detail as the backdrop to this enjoyable romance. . . . A quick but compelling read which features a strongly characterized pair of protagonists whose imperfections make them feel all the more human.” —All About Romance
