She’ll never be mistaken for a queen but she is just that to a loveable rogue of a career officer, Colonel William Reid. So appropriately the favored color of Miss Gwendolyn Meadows, middle-aged spinster, chaperone and assistant spy to Miss Jane Wooliston, AKA the Pink Carnation. The hot color of red mingled with the cold color of blue. But Gwen’s partnership with quick-tongued, roguish William may prove to be even more of an adventure for her than finding the lost girls… Thrown together by circumstance, Gwen and William must cooperate to track down the young ladies before others with nefarious intent get their hands on them. But, when the Pink Carnation’s little sister goes missing from her English boarding school, Gwen reluctantly returns home to investigate the girl’s disappearance. Having served as second-in-command to the Pink Carnation, one of England’s most intrepid spies, it would be impossible for Gwendolyn Meadows to give up the intrigue of Paris for a quiet life in the English countryside-especially when she’s just overheard news of an alliance forming between Napoleon and an Ottoman Sultan. Upon his return to the Isles, however, he finds that one of his daughters has vanished, along with one of her classmates. Colonel William Reid has returned home from India to retire near his children, who are safely stowed in an academy in Bath.
