In the midst of a moonlit safe-cracking mission, British spy James Locke witnesses a ruby necklace spirited away as if by conjurer's trick. Following the jewels leads him to Lusinda Havershaw, who's inherited the talent of turning invisible in the moonlight--at least, the parts of her that are unclothed. Locke trains Lusinda in espionage, even while he finds her close proximity bewitchingly distracting. And as their mission to track Russian spies grows treacherous, they'll find that the heart behaves even more mysteriously than Lusinda in the moonlight.… (more)

Lusinda Havershaw has inherited the ability to become invisible in Moonlight. She has been using her ability to recover goods for people for a fee. You could call her a thief, but she prefers what she does to be called recovering. One night when she is recovering some jewellery for a client she comes into contact with James Locke. He does not quite know what he is seeing when he sees the necklace move around on its own, so he follows it to a house.

He sets up a trap to catch Lusinda and gets more than he bargained for when she falls for it., James coerces Lusinda into helping him recover a list from a safe and the story goes on from there. I love it, I loved both Lusinda and James, they were so good together.

I am working my way through Donna’s books and I hope they all are as good as what I have read so far ( )

A fun story. The notion of a race of invisible women is odd - and the author's laid the foundations for at least two more stories about that family. That aside - Locke and Lusinda are both great characters, with interesting back-stories, who act in accordance with their depicted characters at least most of the time. I knew who the traitor was early on, before they did, but it was nicely depicted as the evidence against him grew. And so on - good story, good setting, interesting motivations on all sides, and an excellent climax. I'll be looking for more from her - in fact, there's an excerpt at the end that makes me want to read the next book (different series). ( )
