Rejecting his biological connections, he prefers a solitary, anonymous life, the better to exercise the espionage skills he gained under the tutelage of England’s most powerful spymaster. Ransom, a “by-blow” of the late Ravenel family patriarch, the Earl of Trenear, was raised by a prison guard. At age 28, she may be "on the shelf," but "it happens to be a very interesting shelf." Little does the good doctor realize that in a chance encounter two years prior, her brilliance and beauty captivated secret government agent Ethan Ransom. Garrett lives with her father above her busy office, and although her friendship with the Ravenels grants her proximity to wealth and nobility, she is fulfilled in her career and content in her life. Kleypas modeled her on Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, who in 1865 became the first Englishwoman to qualify as a doctor. The fourth book in Kleypas’ ( Devil in Spring, 2017, etc.) The Ravenels series brings back a popular minor character, the capable and friendly Dr. England’s only female doctor and a lethal government agent with secrets of his own fall in love.
