Face of the Enemy ~ Character Profile, Book Spotlight and Giveaway

Face of the Enemy

Heirs of Roxbury #1

By Paige Edwards

Today I'm featuring the Face of the Enemy by doing a character profile of Elise Taylor and Harry Benson. 

 

Elise Taylor is the MI6 name that Lady Elise Henderson uses to separate her two lives.

Was seriously injured two years ago and is trying to make a final push to get into shape before her last few weeks of medical leave are up.

Has made an enemy of 'The Professor".

Had dated Harry Benson in college before parental disapproval broke them up.

She is loyal, driven, and protective.

Harry Benson was born and raised as the son of servants.

Dated Elise Henderson while in college until she broke his heart.

Previously married and has a young son.

Been stationed in the Mideast, where he uncovered information about UK weapons being funneled to terrorists.

Has been with MI6 for several years and was paired with Elise Taylor as his training agent before her accident.

He is loyal, steady, and dedicated.

Face of the Enemy is the first book in the Heirs of Roxbury series, and it is most definitely a book you don't want to miss out on.  The book is Contemporary Romantic Suspense, but something about the way it reads could easily place it in the 1940s. Both Elise and Harry are characters one can easily connect with. The book is well-paced and action-driven though there are contemplative moments as well.

About the Book:

Lady Elise Henderson lives two separate lives. At home in Scotland, she’s the titled daughter of the Marquess of Roxbury, an heiress in her own right. In London, however, she’s Elise Taylor, a top MI6 operative for the “home office.” But when a devastating accident threatens to end her career, Elise is left with far too much time for self-reflection and the regret of a decision made long ago that features one man: fellow MI6 agent Harry Benson.

Harry Benson, the son of servants, has loved Elise for the better part of a decade. But life took them on separate journeys until their worlds converged once more. An immediate assignment to the Scottish Borders leaves Harry little time to make provisions for his small, rambunctious son, Sammy. Harry knows only one person he can rely on for the boy’s care—Elise. When Elise brings Sammy to her ancestral estate, she never imagines that a nemesis from her past looms in the shadows, hungry for revenge. Stalked at every turn, Elise and Harry discover that fighting their feelings for one another is futile, but can they survive long enough to get another shot at true love?
