Desire Never Dies

Anatasia Whittig is a Lady Spy, but she prefers to invent important gadgets or encodes important documents. But when her best friend and fellow Lady Spy is wounded on active duty, she has to take over her place in the investigation. Now she has to work together with the charismatic Lucas Tyler, who isn’t very pleased to work together with Ana. He wants to find the traitor who is responsible of the sometimes deadly attacks on his fellow agents and he doesn’t see how an untried spy, even a cute own like Ana, could help him with his investigation, especially when his attraction to her distracts him immensely. Soon not only their lives are in danger but also their hearts.

Ms. Petersen created with DESIRE NEVER DIES as well as the whole Lady Spies trilogy a fantastic and refreshingly different book/trilogy, just think of Charlie’s Angels in Regency times.

Anastasia Whittig is a very shy person, who prefers to work in the background instead of in the field, but she undergoes quite a change in the development of the story. She changes from a shy, gray mouse to a brave lioness that will do everything to safe the man she loves. But before she can make this change and open her heart to Lucas she must forget the past.

Lucas Tyler is a dominant man, who has his difficulties with Ana. He is determined to find the traitor, but he can’t deny his distraction to Ana, nor can he fully understand the why, because she isn’t his type.

What the two doesn’t know are that they are only whole when they are together and that in the end, they have to work together to destroy the evil.

This reviewer recommends the reading of From London with Love prior reading DESIRE NEVER DIES. You will also want to keep your eyes open for Seduction is forever, the last book in the Lady Spies trilogy, which will be released in October 2007.

This reviewer can highly recommend DESIRE NEVER DIES because it is a really fantastic historical novel, with unusual characters, that will keep you captivated from the first page onward.
