Set in 1803 London, we follow Dominique Dawson back to her homeland. But it is far from a joyful homecoming. With her brother imprisoned in France, she has been sent -against her will - as a spy to the house of Admiral Chase Randal to procure information regarding the Royal Fleet. Betrayal does not come easy for her and she questions if it is something she is capable of. But with her brother’s life hanging in the balance, she wills herself to do the unthinkable.
As the governess to William, the son of the admiral, she is immediately betwixt by what she must do. She is quickly losing her heart to her young charge, and that of his stalwart, but dashing father. Knowing selfishness will mean death to her brother, she puts her feelings for William and Chase aside to carry out what she was sent to do. The perplexities of her task and the tugging of her heart become Dominique’s biggest foes.
THE FALCON AND THE SPARROW by M.L. Tyndall is filled with fear, faith, intrigue, and of course, a smoldering romance that nearly ignites the very pages you turn. I am not usually a fan of period pieces, but MaryLu’s style and wonderfully crafted characters transcend time and draw the reader in regardless of setting. Congratulations, MaryLu, you have done it again!♥
