About this ebook
Blistering seduction meets international intrigue in the Highlands as a veteran spy infiltrates the court of Mary, Queen of Scots. There he matches wits against a tantalizing enemy: his new wife.
Simon Marcheford wants nothing more than to settle down on the land bestowed upon him by the English crown. Queen Elizabeth, however, is not about to let her best spy retire so easily. Simon will have his reward, she decrees, after he completes one last mission in Scotland. But no sooner has he sussed out a diabolical plot up North than Queen Mary weds him to her cousin—an exquisite beauty with troubled, soulful eyes—and orders Simon to watch her every move.
Aimee de Verris is no spy. But her life may depend on becoming one. Banished from the French court by Catherine de Medici, Aimee finds herself tasked with reporting on Queen Mary’s activities in Scotland, where she’s unnerved by the frigid weather and brutish customs. Worst of all, Aimee’s been married off to a most uncouth lout. But when murder strikes, she learns to appreciate Simon’s talent for shielding her with every inch of his muscular frame. If Aimee desires her husband, perhaps she could trust him—or even love him.
Look for all of Sharon Cullen’s delightful historical romances:
The All the Queen’s Spies series: WED TO A SPY | BOUND TO A SPY
The Secrets & Seduction series: THE NOTORIOUS LADY ANNE | LOVING THE EARL | PLEASING THE PIRATE | HIS SAVING GRACE | SEBASTIAN’S LADY SPY | THE RELUCTANT DUCHESS

The title of this story was an eye-catcher for me because it has a hint of humor about it. Lady Aimee is sent to Scotland to spy on Queen Mary by her aunt, Catherine de Medici, in a diabolical plot to get Aimee away from a love interest in France. Queen Mary is suspicious about Aimee’s purpose in coming to Scotland so she diabolically weds Simon, her spymaster, to Aimee so he can keep an eye on her and report to the Queen. I will not go further with this tale here and give all away, but it is a tale full of history, intrigue and romance and Cullen’s best so far, in my humble opinion.

'Wed to a Spy' by Sharon Cullen is book One in the New series "An All the Queen's Spies". This is the story of Aimee de Verris and Simon Marcheford. Aimee is from France and is in love with a man her Aunt Catherine de Medici does not like. So when she is caught in a compromising position with him, her Aunt sends her to Scotland to spy on Queen Mary. Catherine has promised Aimee if she does this she will agree to her marriage to this man. But Aimee isn't spy material and hates it. Simon is a spy for Queen Elizabeth and had hoped to retire but the Queen asked that him and his friends help her with one more mission. Simon is sent to Scotland to spy on Queen Marry. Queen Mary has ordered Simon to marry Aimee...of which neither has a choice. Simon and Aimee soon find themselves having to depend on each other and possibly fallen in love. "My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

Sir Simon planned to retire and raise his sister; instead, Queen Elizabeth sends Sir Simon to spy and report on Mary, Queen of Scots; This should be his last assignment. Aimee has been sent (by her aunt, Queen Catherine de Medici of Spain), to spy on Queen Mary, as well. Lady Aimee's been raised in Queen Catherine's court and is untrained as a spy. She longs to marry Pierre. Mary, Queen of Scots, stuns both Sir Simon and Lady Aimee when she... Interesting historical espionage romance. Enjoyed the characters (though sometimes became irritated with Aimee's immature way). She did improve to a stronger and more likeable character later. Fun read. 3 1/2 stars. Voluntarily read an ARC, thru Netgalley and publisher, for an honest review.
