An Unsuitable Pursuit

Whitefriars Fencing School London 1605 

Lucinda Evans, swordmaster’s daughter and reluctant informant always knew Lord Colin Cavendish would make her pay for her past.As well as spying on Catholic swordsmen she must now prise information from a charming Spanish diplomat.

Given his lothario reputation, she is damned if she succeeds and destroyed if she does not.

To make matters worse, her “handler” is Robert McCrae, Cavendish’s heir and nephew, the man she loves who is far beyond her reach.

McCrae cannot bear encouraging any kind of liaison between the woman he loves and the handsome Spaniard, but with rumblings of Catholic dissent threatening to turn into full-blown treason, he must put the safety of his King and country before the longings of his aching heart.

When Lucinda’s investigations lead to a web of intrigue and double dealings she does not know what to believe and who to trust.

With the help of the Sisters of the Sword, her clandestine band of female fencers, she uncovers a plot so heinous and explosive it will go down in history, putting Lucinda in the perilous position of knowing far too much.
