Summary
In the first in an adventurous new series, USA Today best-selling author Erica Monroe introduces the Covert Heiresses: women who by day are the talk of the ton, and by night England's top spies.
She wants revenge
When bluestocking Vivian Loren becomes the governess for the wealthy Spencer family, she's hunting for clues about the murder of her brother, not romance. But Vivian didn't count on one thing: James Spencer, the intrepid Duke of Abermont, who has a tortured past of his own.
He needs a wife
As head of Britain's elite intelligence agency, James can't afford the scrutiny the Marriage Mart would bring to his family once the season starts. After discovering Vivian's quest for vengeance has made her a pawn in a treacherous plot of one of Napoleon's most deadly spies, James realizes they can help each other. She'll become his duchess, and he'll keep her safe.
What begins as a marriage of convenience quickly becomes anything but as the enemy spy closes in on them. When both husband and wife have dark secrets, love may be the most dangerous mission of all.
I Spy a Duke is a dark, sexy Regency romance with suspense elements. While it is book one of the Covert Heiresses series, it can be read as a standalone full-length historical romance.

Romance, family hijinks & spies!!
I really loved this romance meets espionage tale. The characters simply dazzled for me and jumped from the page. I really got caught up in the developing romance between the leads as they embarked on a marriage of convenience, under the guise of necessity versus protection. Made all the more enjoyable for the magnetic sexual attraction, admiration and secrets that pulled the pair together from the start.
Vivienne and James' simmering chemistry, strong willfulness, tender honesty and emotional bond, forged from their similar tragic pasts - overshadowed by the heartbreaking loss of a sibling and the guilt that festers because of it - had me championing them as a couple early on. It was this emotional entanglement I felt for the pair that really drove the tale for me, as it flowed and ebbed with such fluidity and pace. Whilst adding a fun suspense element as it opened up the world of the Clock Tower and its covert operations. Setting the scene and introducing the players for future books incredibly well.
It's well written in this regard as it shows the inner workings and training involved as an agent as it pulls you in with the urgency to solve the mysteries surrounding Vivienne's brother's suspicious death and the need for her to learn self-defence if she is to stand a chance against the encroaching enemy.
A truly engaging romance as a result blossoms and sparkles despite the insecurities, vulnerabilities and perilous circumstances. Where the tale has only been made better by the fabulously well depicted supporting cast of well defined originals that had me hooked with their wit, easy banter and a promise of so much more to come.
Furthermore, this audio version was well performed and really added a dash of colour to each scene.
Making this a great read/listen all round - I really hope this won't be the last time we hear from such a wonderfully intriguing array of characters!!
