After returning from war all but totally blind by a would-be assassin's hand, Nathan Oriel spends his days in bitterness and isolation. Until Isobel MacLeod--caught in his steely embrace one fateful night--shatters his world with her Scottish temper, her pride, and her courage.

Isobel, by her own admission a woman of too much brain and too little beauty, is a spinster devoted to keeping her wayward family out of trouble. To Nathan, however, she is beauty, hope, and salvation in one tempestuous package, and he is not above blackmail to coerce her into his world.

Shaken by Nathan's raw passion and fierce determination, Isobel's own defenses and stubborn pride begin to crumble. But can she trust this enigmatic man enough to give him what he wants most dearly of all . . . her love?

From the Publisher:

Reader's who enjoy a little mystery with their historical romance will enjoy Entwined. The strong heroine and slightly damaged hero are engaging and will keep you interested to the very end. If the name Emma Jense sounds familiar, that's because she is the author of several wonderful Regencies. Though this book is painted on a bigger canvas, Emma's characters and story are still sure to delight. Lisa Congelosi, Sales Rep

Review:

He caught her in the dead of night, in his house, at his desk. Isobel MacLeod wanted only to return the money her drunken father stole from Lord Oriel while working for him. She didn't know it then, but the next day, after agreeing to work for him and to live at his house, Isobel realized his secret. Oriel needed her for many reasons. Mostly he needed her silence, and to assure that, he offered marriage. As daft as it seemed, Isobel agreed to marry Nathan Paget, Marquess of Oriel, and to be his helper. She didn't know what she was getting into! Oriel is one of ten men who belong to the elite intelligence corps committed to finding spies. While on assignment several months before, Oriel was attacked and injured. Members of the 'ten' are being eliminated one by one, and Nathan's superior asks for his help. Nathan takes Isobel to London but they become surrounded by danger. One evening, after a ball, he is attacked for a second time making him realize he must get Isobel away. Circumstances cause Isobel to leave Nathan, but, sensing that he needs her, she hurries back to London. With some help, she finds him but it is dark, there is a scuffle, there is blood . . .
