Regina Lachlan isn’t a good traveler. She’s prone to motion sickness. So why does she agree to chaperone two young ladies to England and France?

Gabriel King is an agent for a quasi-official organization dedicated to eradication of white slavery and drug dealing throughout the world. His base is Italy, so why is he being sent to Paris? He doesn’t speak French.

Gabe and Regina have known–and loved–each other all their lives. While he would be happy to carry her off to his Italian villa, she can’t imagine abandoning her career and living in an strange land. She likes a placid, uneventful life and can’t understand how he can enjoy his silly spy games.

When Gabe is betrayed to his enemies, a dreadful coincidence endangers Regina and her charges. What happens next will challenge both of them, and its outcome could break their wills…and their hearts.
