Plot Summary of Seducing The Spy
"    Lady Alicia Lawrence is a woman who has been cast out of society due an indiscretion that never actually happened, and when she tried to deny the lies that framed her, she was dubbed not only a loose woman, but a liar as well. So when Alicia hears of a plot to kidnap the king, the man she tells, Lord Marcus Wyndham, does not immediately believe her.
    Lord Marcus Wyndham is a secret member of the Royal Four, a group of spies established to keep England safe. Marcus is known as a human lie detector in the group, but his ability fails him for some reason with Alicia. After investigating her claims, Marcus decides there could be truth in her words. The only problem in the investigation is Alicia could only see one of the conspirators and the heard the distinct voices of the others, one of which had a very distintive voice.
    Marcus comes up with a plan to catch the traitor by having Alicia pose as his mistress and attend the party in which the King is supposed to be kidnapped from. Alicia agrees and as the couple put on their serade, the begin to explore their passion for one another, and Alicia grows to love Marcus, and he also loves her but does not want to admit it because he still believes her to be a liar.
    As the traitor manipulates the situation, he makes Alicia look like a liar once again to Marcus, and he wrongfully accuses her of many things, causing her to flee, and managing to kidnap the Royal Four in the process. Alicia races back to save Marcus and his collegues, and the couple must not only overcome a vicious traitor, but all the lies and misgivings to find their path to a trusting love."
