The Spymaster's Lady by Joanna Bourne

The Spymaster's Lady

3/5. Historical het romance. She is an elusive French agent. He is a British chief of section. They meet in a prison cell.

I enjoyed this, which is quite an extraordinary statement considering spoilers ). And yet I still enjoyed it, despite that and also the inevitable mistaken identity nonsense that followed. There's just a richness to the secondary characters, and a pull of true tension to the conflicts of loyalty.
