In the ninth installment of Lauren Willig's bestselling Pink Carnation series, an atrocious poet teams up with an American widow to prevent Napoleon's invasion of England. Secret agent Augustus Whittlesby has spent a decade undercover in France, posing as an insufferably bad poet. The French surveillance officers can't bear to read his work closely enough to recognize the information drowned in a sea of verbiage.New York-born Emma Morris Delagardie is a thorn in Augustus's side. An old school friend of Napoleon's stepdaughter, she came to France with her uncle, the American envoy; eloped with a Frenchman; and has been rattling around the salons of Paris ever since. Widowed for four years, she entertains herself by drinking too much champagne, holding a weekly salon, and loudly critiquing Augustus's poetry.As Napoleon pursues his plans for the invasion of England, Whittlesby hears of a top-secret device to be demonstrated at a house party at Malmaison

From Booklist:
The Pink Carnation herself plays a large role in the latest entry in Willig’s long-running series. Jane Wooliston, covert English spy living in Napoleonic France, is the object of fellow spy Augustus Whittlesby’s affection. Posing as a uniquely untalented poet, Augustus is able to gain access to the highest echelons of French society while wooing his muse in vain. Jane’s latest assignment is to have Augustus gain access to an exclusive house party, at which a new secret weapon is being unveiled. To do so, Augustus must convince Emma Delagardie, a beautiful American widow who thinks he’s something of a fool, albeit a handsome one, to let him coauthor a masque for the party with her. As fans of the series know, the two are destined to fall in love, amid plenty of intrigue and adventure. There’s more talky romance here than swashbuckling, but readers will be pleased to see the spy who inspired the series in action and will enjoy the charming, witty rapport between Augustus and Emma. --Kristine Huntley
