The Agent and the Outlaw
Charlotte de Brionne, a comtesse with a tepid marriage, finds herself betrayed by her murderous husband. Seizing the opportunity for adventure, she joins les Dames Dangereuses, a secretive order of lady spies serving the French crown.
Her latest mission is disrupted when she is accidentally kidnapped by Lieutenant Antoine de Valle, a surly soldier with a crossbow.
Despite their rocky start, Antoine is bound by honor to protect Charlotte, especially after she witnesses him murder a marquis and they both become targets of a vampire death squad.
As they journey through the French countryside, evading the Beast of Gévaudan and other dangers, the tension between them grows into a passionate romance.
