Sebastien Bocastle has been married to Eleanor Prescott for six years, but he hasn't really been home for most of it. His work for the English army has kept him from home. But Eleanor hasn't been sitting at home quietly. Instead, she's been helping the Duchess of Wellington steal back some letters that incriminate the duchess' husband. Now Sebastien's back and trying to beat his wife at her own game.
Wish there had been more background on this one. Why did he feel the need to leave, what were his missions like, what was it like for her while he was gone, and why did she let him back into bed so damn fast?
Inventive story but not one of my favorites from Hunter.
