Pink Carnations Series Book 8
"Pride and Prejudice lives on" (USA Today) in Lauren Willig's Pink Carnation
series, which has been hailed for its addictive blend of history, romance,
and adventure. In The Orchid Affair, Willig introduces her strongest heroine
yet. Laura Grey, a veteran governess, joins the Selwick Spy School expecting
to find elaborate disguises and thrilling exploits in service to the spy
known as the Pink Carnation. She hardly expects her first assignment to be
serving as governess for the children of Andre Jaouen, right-hand man to
Bonaparte's minister of police. Jaouen and his arch rival, Gaston Delaroche,
are investigating a suspected Royalist plot to unseat Bonaparte, and Laura's
mission is to report any suspicious findings.
At first the job is as lively as Latin textbooks and knitting, but Laura
begins to notice strange behavior from Jaouen-secret meetings and odd comings
and goings. As Laura edges herself closer to her employer, she makes a shocking
discovery and is surprised to learn that she has far more in common with Jaouen
than she originally thought...
As their plots begin to unravel, Laura and Jaouen are forced on the run with
the children, and with the help of the Pink Carnation they escape to the
countryside, traveling as husband and wife. But Delaroche will stop at nothing
to take down his nemesis. With his men hot on their trail, can Laura and Jaouen
seal the fate of Europe before it's too late?
