From Booklist
When Matthew "South" Forrester, viscount Southerton, is sent to investigate India Parr's involvement in the murder of an intelligence agent, he uses the opportunity to attend one of her performances and meet the lovely actress. The reticent India is reluctant to divulge much about herself, and Matthew quickly finds that the more he learns about her, the more questions he has. Even more surprising is the discovery that India actually does some "work" for the same man who sent Matthew to investigate her. While India may not have played a role in the agent's murder, it turns out that she does need protection from the killer, but convincing India to let him protect her may take even more work than keeping her safe from a determined murderer. The second in Goodman's Compass Club series, which centers on four friends each named after a point in the compass, features polished writing, memorable characters, and a delightfully twisted plot composed of equal measures of dangerous intrigue and passionate romance.
