Kitt knows of Mae’s fondness for order, her beloved dead husband, and the millions the man left her in trust. Their easy bond is tested the day Mae kills the man sent to murder her and the trust fund vanishes. Soon, a volcano, a hand roasting in an oven, and a fish named Shirley accentuate sinister machinations that involve Mae and the missing money. To keep her safe from women in ugly shoes, homicidal bankers, and Mafia henchmen, Kitt risks exposing his true profession, which doesn’t trouble him as much as being in love with a woman who’s still in love with a dead man. If he can’t protect Mae, he’ll lose the best butler—and scrambled eggs—a spy ever loved. less

A widowed former butler. A disagreeable spy. A tray of tempting baked goods. Trapped in his new home by a healing serious injury that could end his career, Major Kitt's more surly than usual, and his moodiness doesn’t shift when his landlady drops by expecting a favour. Mae Valentine knows her new tenant is a tad mysterious—turns out he’s also a bit of a prick. She’s of half a mind to turn around with the Chelsea buns she baked, but that would be impolite... moreA widowed former butler. A disagreeable spy. A tray of tempting baked goods. Trapped in his new home by a healing serious injury that could end his career, Major Kitt's more surly than usual, and his moodiness doesn’t shift when his landlady drops by expecting a favour. Mae Valentine knows her new tenant is a tad mysterious—turns out he’s also a bit of a prick. She’s of half a mind to turn around with the Chelsea buns she baked, but that would be impolite. It’s clear neither one of them suffer fools, and soon these two professionals find surprising common ground, a service arrangement that suits them both, and changes their lives forever. less

A heartbroken butler. A dead spy. A randy little dog. Reproduction wines, counterfeit handbags, forged art, and sham relationships trap Mae in a web of phonies, frauds, and liars—with Kitt the greatest charlatan of them all. Spies come back from the dead in movies and books, but this isn't film or fiction. Mae isn't sure what to believe after a spy loves says, 'I love you,' and everything, including her own life, is nothing but a ruse.

Former butler Mae Valentine accepted the risk-filled life Major Hamish Kitt led when she married him. He’s out of the field, now teaching novice spies how to be spies. Then an accident—or terrorism—drags the couple to tulip fields and sex shops in charming, deadly Amsterdam. Suddenly it’s extortion, nasty little plants, and a bar full of monkeys. As treachery unfolds and bodies pile up, the past, once dead and buried, resurrects to make their future an impossibility... moreFormer butler Mae Valentine accepted the risk-filled life Major Hamish Kitt led when she married him.
