A spy in the service of His Majesty, Robert is a &#8220;guest&#8221; at a masquerade party as he retrieves vital information for a murder investigation.

Now she must masquerade as Robert&#8217;s betrothed in order to infiltrate the Inventor&#8217;s Society and find the killer.\u00a0But the undeniable potent attraction between them not only imperils the investigation, but Sophia&#8217;s reputation&#8230; and both of their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Book 1\u00a0in the <em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Crown&#8217;s Secret Service<\/span>\u00a0<\/em>series<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/excerpt-sheilabold.jpg?resize=243%2C74\" alt=\"excerpt-sheilabold\" width=\"243\" height=\"74\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe will waltz at the ball and convince everyone of our story. Shall we practice?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Robert stepped close and put a hand on Sophia\u2019s waist. Their eyes locked and her cheeks grew warm under the heat of his gaze. His shaving soap\u2014a subtle scent of bay rum\u2014teased her nostrils.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe cannot,\u201d she blurted out. \u201cThere\u2019s no music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He captured her right hand in his. \u201cNo matter. We\u2019re just practicing, remember? Put your left hand on my shoulder and follow my lead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sophia slowly raised her arm, and her fingers grazed his shoulder. The heat from his body seared her fingertips through the cotton shirt. Her pulse skittered alarmingly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He began to move, smooth and practiced. \u201cThat\u2019s it, Sophia. One and two and turn\u2026you have the basic steps. Excellent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only it was far from excellent. She was highly conscious of his hand at her waist, his sinewy body inches from hers. A tingling began in the pit of her stomach at his nearness. She stumbled; he steadied her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Robert looked down, his stare bold as he assessed her. \u201cThe ball will be a good test to see how well you can handle the deception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI assure you, I can handle anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAnything?\u201d He pulled her a fraction of an inch closer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His touch upset her balance, and she inhaled sharply. He was purposefully trying to unnerve her. \u201cDeception comes that easy to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt\u2019s a requirement of my job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI must keep that in mind when dealing with you, my lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He stopped dancing, but his hand remained around her waist. \u201cWe are entering the enemy\u2019s lair. I need to be certain you won\u2019t panic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Her chin rose a notch. \u201cI never panic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His voice was cold and exact. \u201cDispassionate control is required, or else dangerous mistakes can occur.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf you\u2019re trying to intimidate me into backing out of the house party, then you\u2019re failing. I have mettle, my lord. Your seductive tactics won\u2019t work on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He arched an eyebrow. \u201cWhat do you know of seduction?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI\u2019m not completely ignorant. I\u2019m twenty-four years old, and despite what you\u2019ve heard, I\u2019ve attended numerous balls, danced with plenty of gentlemen, and strolled through moonlit mazes. I\u2019ve been kissed before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ocean-blue eyes studied her mouth. \u201cWhere?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She frowned. \u201cMy lips and even once on my neck.\u201d She pointed to a spot just beneath her chin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His gaze dropped to where her finger pointed, then slowly lowered to the skin just above her bodice. Her pulse skittered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThen you won\u2019t mind if I test your mettle?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She stood frozen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking into her eyes once again, he came close, moving slowly. He mouth brushed across hers, once, twice, a featherweight touch before she stepped back. Her fingers flew up to cover her lips.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cJust as I thought,\u201d he drawled. \u201cYou lack experience. A few stolen kisses inside a dim maze are not sufficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She bristled with indignation. \u201cNot sufficient? Whatever else do you have in mind?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis.\u201d Pulling her close, he swooped down and kissed her.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/23396565-a-spy-unmasked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00OO8HBQK?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00OO8HBQK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9781633751330\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9781633751330\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9781633751330\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Tina_Gabrielle_A_Spy_Unmasked_Entangled_Scandalous?id=lQHeBAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr class=\"full\" \/>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14388\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/tinagabrielle.jpg?resize=108%2C175\" alt=\"tinagabrielle\" width=\"108\" height=\"175\" \/>Tina Gabrielle, an award-winning author, is an attorney and former mechanical engineer whose love of reading for pleasure helped her get through years of academia.
