Sisters of the Sword series-An Unsuitable Pursuit

Trysts, treason and intrigue. A swordmaster's daughter and her "Sisters of the Sword" in a quest to uncover a deadly plot. Whitefriars Fencing School London 1605 Lucinda Evans swordmaster’s daughter and reluctant informant always knew Lord Colin Cavendish would make her pay for the mistakes of her past. Forcing her to spy on the Catholic swordsmen at her father’s fencing academy is bad enough but now she must prise information from a charming Spanish diplomat by whatever means necessary. Given Signor DeGuerra’s “reputation”, success is a mixed blessing. She is damned if she does and destroyed if she does not. To make matters worse, her “handler” and go-between, is none other than Cavendish’s heir and nephew, Robert McCrae, the man she loves who is far beyond her reach. Robert McCrae cannot bear watching, let alone encouraging, any kind of liaison between the woman he loves and a handsome Spanish lothario 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. ________________________________ Praise for the Sisters of the Sword Wonderful written.
