A Season for Spies (Deception and Discipline #4)
Golden Angel
As she races to uncover the traitor, she can hide from him no longer... Perpetually vexed by his misbehaving niece, the Marquess of Camden and Spymaster to the Crown is putting his foot down once and for all. If Evie wants to participate in the hunt for the traitor, she will do so under the auspices of Captain Anthony Browne... the man who once asked her to be his mistress after she seduced him. Not that she ever told her uncle about the encounter. But now the captain knows her true identity and there's going to be a passionate price to pay for her trickery. After much confusion and frustration, Captain Anthony Browne has finally learned the identity of the mysterious tart who saved his life in a French brothel four years ago. But the last place he expected to find the lovely lightskirt with whom he shared a single night of pleasure is at the Marquess of Camden's side, where she is announced as the Spymaster's niece. Evie has no intention of marrying, even if the domineering Captain is the one man she has never been able to forget. Her only wish is to beat him and everyone else to the traitor. Though the competition between them is fierce, their attraction is even more powerful, and temptation is becoming harder and harder to resist.

I jumped right into this book, having not read the previous books in the series. I have read the domestic discipline quartet and I loved that there were some cameos from some of those characters too! Since I didn’t read the other books, that combined with the large cast of characters had me a little confused as to the whose who during parts of the book, but even that didn’t heavily detract from the story.
If you’re familiar with historical costuming at all, there’s a phrase that’s pretty common in those circles that goes something like “historical dress, not historical values” and I think Golden Angel as an author embodies that concept in historical fiction. Her characters are both realistically living in past times, and also likeable when viewing them as a 30-something in modern times.
If you’re into historical fiction with a kinky twist, definitely pick up as many of her books as you can. As I figured out by reading this book as a standalone, you can easily pick them up out of order too, as each book focuses on a different couples story and the characters from other books become side characters.
