The course of true love doesn’t always run smoothly, as you’ll see in the letters between Capt. Will Endicott and Miss Evie Whitney, the hero and heroine of How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy. Will and Evie were best friends and childhood sweethearts—until Will broke Evie’s heart by marching off to war and a career as a military spy. But Evie did recover and even found herself a beau. In fact, Evie and her beau are on the verge of getting engaged. Until, that is, Will comes back into Evie’s life and they once more fall in love.
But there’s a catch. Will is still an intelligence agent and he’s on one last mission. And that mission includes spying on Evie, since her former beau is suspected of treason. Throw in a few scandalous encounters, a wardrobe malfunction, and a hasty marriage proposal, and things are getting complicated!
This exchange was written shortly after Evie discovered that Will was spying on her. They might not be conventional love letters but, after all, successful couples do need to learn how to work through their problems!
Check out Evie and Will's love story in How To Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy.
Whether as spies or lovers, the Renegade Royals—illegitimate sons of England’s Royal Princes—are bold, skillful, and a force to be reckoned with…
A war hero returned from Waterloo should be able to indulge in a bit of bad behavior. Instead, Captain William Endicott is summoned by his father, the Duke of York, to investigate an assassination plot. The unlikely suspect: William’s former sweetheart. Will can’t believe that innocent Evie Whitney could be mixed up in anything so nefarious. Then again, almost everything about Evie has changed—except for his body’s instinctive response to hers…
Just as Evie’s life is finally coming together, Will saunters back into it. Should she slap him—or seduce him? Even as she tries to decide, scandal pushes her toward marriage with a man she can neither trust nor resist—and into the heart of a deadly conspiracy…

Oh, what a romantic note... It kills me to see tear stains :-D Melting here!
Love the love letters. And of course, I love Vanessa's books. I've read many of them and have this set too.
Wonderful letters. I just adore Vanessa's books!
I want to know about the wardrobe malfunction!
Thanks for sharing the letters. I really enjoy Vanessa's books and always look forward to reading her newest books.
Happy Valentine's Day

Sounds like an exciting book! Couldn't help but chuckle when Will told Evie to stay home.
Ahhh, Vanessa.... Long time no talk to! Great to see you here!
"Innocent Evie"??? Methinks she isn't (at least in one way, LOL)!
Oh Vanessa, how I love your stories, including this one! That scalawag Will should know that women do NOT like secrets withheld from them. So Will better make sure his "mission" is over soon before Evie does take matters into her own hands! Thanks for the post. jdh2690@gmail.com
My work is done, Jo's Daughter! *wink*
Thanks SO much, Karen!! Mwah!
I'm so glad you like them, Sue!
It's a good one, Linda! Those Regency stays were tricky.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, Lori!
Dee, guess what she does!!
Laney, you know me too well!!!
Hi Janice! I think we all know what happens next! *wink*
WOW! Will sounds like a very strong and heroic man. But, keeping secrets from Evie, does not sound like a good plan. This does appear to be a story I will want to read and enjoy.
I love romance that take place partially through letters. What was your inspiration to write your own? I can't wait to read this one!
Awww! I love how William consoled Evie. I also love how he thinks she's going to wait at home while everything works itself out...Lol. Poor William and poor Evie.
Good look into the characters and how they interact with each other! :) Romantic, but personal. Thanks for sharing.
The letters are a really good way to let people know some of the relationship give and take that occurs whenever loved ones are apart with no other way to communicate.
Hi Vanessa! Love the letters and can't wait to get a chance to read the book. Have a wonderful week and Valentine's Day!
I would love to have the complete series :-)
I enjoyed reading the comments. The note was very revealing.

Great letters! I love this series and can't wait for the next one.
I loved the letters, especially when Will insists that Evie stay home and not interfere in his investigation. LOL I can only imagine she has trouble with this directive. ;-)

I can tell Evie isn't going to sit by & wait for Will to come home!
