Can a Regency Spy Fall for the Spinster Who Skewered Him?

Every story has a beginning.

This one did not go according to plan.

🫖 Worst. Meet-cute. Ever.

The Lady Wynwood’s Spies series starts with Volume 1: Archer, the first installment in—

“Yes, Miss Sauber?” I ask.

Miss Phoebe Sauber, a character in the series, glares at me. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if she weren’t holding a bow and a wickedly sharp arrow. “Don’t ‘Miss Sauber’ me! You made me misfire an arrow!”

“Um … well, it’s called a meet-cute …”

“I don’t care what it’s called! I have never fired an arrow at a person in my entire life! And you made me shoot an arrow at Mr. Coulton-Jones, of all people! The one man in all of London who is even remotely tolerable as a dance partner!”

“Now you’re exaggerating. Mr. Collingworth wasn’t that bad …”

“All he talked about was his hunting dogs. And he has terrible taste in names for those poor creatures!”

I can’t really argue with her. I tried to convince him that Lickspittle Furrybottom was not dignified enough of a name for his prize hound, but he was rather set on it because the names were taken from the dog’s parents. Which makes me think the real villain here is his father, who named said dog parents. So, not my fault!

(It’s totally my fault.)

“You couldn’t have had me fire an arrow at Mr. Vernon? It would take him down a peg if I happened to blast a hole through his hat at fifty paces.”

“Remember, you’re shooting arrows, not dueling pistols.” But she’s right that Mr. Vernon is a touch insufferable.

Phoebe groans and drops the bow and arrow, burying her face in her hands. “It’s so mortifying! Now Mr. Coulton-Jones thinks my aim is terrible!”

“Actually, he doesn’t …”

She’s not listening to me. Pointing a finger at me, she declares, “You have to do something about this!”

I put my hands up. “Okay, okay. How about you meet him again at a ball?”

“What’s the point of that? He never dances with anyone, much less me!”

“How about I fix that, too?”

She eyes me suspiciously. “You can do that?”

“I’m the author! Of course!”

(Now I have to figure out how to fix that …)

Book cover for Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer by Camille Elliot. A poised young woman with dark hair pinned in a Regency style stands front and center, wearing a cream and gold embroidered gown. Behind her is a large silver shield and a bow with arrows, one of which is nocked and aimed. Ornate white scrollwork decorates the edges of the image. The title “Archer” is displayed in elegant script on a decorative plaque with the subtitle “Lady Wynwood’s Spies 1” above it. At the bottom is the author’s name, Camille Elliot, with the tagline “USA Today Bestselling Author.” The overall tone is dramatic and elegant, suggesting historical intrigue and romance.

To find out if I succeeded, check out Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 1: Archer:

A (dishy) ex-spy and a spinster botanist must find a murderer—with ties to both their families—whose uncanny alchemy could turn the tide against the war with Napoleon.

🕵️‍♀️ Christian historical suspense
❤️ Slow-burn romance
✨ A touch of the supernatural

Start reading Volume 1 for only $2.99.

Or read the opening three chapters online.

If you’re new to the Lady Wynwood’s Spies world, you can start at the very beginning with Lissa and the Spy, a short prequel story available as a free read.

Thanks for continuing the journey with me!

She insulted a hat 👒 and ruined her Season

Welcome! My name is Camille Elliot, and I write Christian Regency Suspense with slow-burn romance and a touch of the supernatural. Thank you for—

“Cut!” Lissa, one of my characters, shouts and stomps onto the stage.
I stare at her. “I’m not filming a commercial.”
“It doesn’t matter. You’re being boring.”
I shift uncomfortably, because she’s probably right. “Well then, what should I say? I’m writing a blog post for someone who doesn’t know anything about my books.”
“If you start with pleasantries, I will hide your tea,” she threatens. “All of it.”
I gasp in horror. “You wouldn’t!”
“Try me!”
“I was just going to ask readers to subscribe to my newsletter.”
“I shall topple into the shrubbery as I fall dead asleep on my feet.”
“Rude,” I mutter.
“Maybe start with an explosion. Or at least a hideous hat that ruins my reputation forever.”
“Your reputation wasn’t ruined,” I protest. “You were simply unfortunately overheard.”
“As I insulted a hat.”
“Then maybe you shouldn’t insult hats!” I tell her. (However, I admit she is likely right, because it was the same hat Lady Wynwood insulted in The Spinster’s Christmas.)
“I hope you warned them there’s kissing. And crime. And my mother.”
“That last one would scare them away.”
“Well, your books aren’t for faint-hearted misses, are they?”
She has a point.

Anyway—
Let’s try this again.

Book cover for Lissa & the Spy, a Lady Wynwood’s Spies novella by Camille Elliot. A blonde young woman in a vibrant teal Regency gown reclines on an ornate cream and gold settee, gazing up at a dark-haired man in a gold embroidered waistcoat and cravat. He leans over her, holding her hand and looking into her eyes, their pose full of romantic tension. The background is a rich pink with swirling patterns and a faint illustration of a lorgnette opera glass. The title Lissa & the Spy is displayed on a decorative frame with a magnifying glass motif. Below is the author’s name, Camille Elliot, with the tagline USA Today Bestselling Author. The overall tone suggests romance, intrigue, and Regency elegance.

What’s it about?

In her hunt for a husband of convenience, Lissa accidentally runs afoul of a secretive government agent—Lord Jeremy Stoude—who ropes her into his dangerous mission. Cue mistaken identities, societal sabotage, hidden wounds, and ahem, unfortunate bonnet abuse.

Here’s a peek inside…


Spring, 1807
London
If only she were allowed to open her mouth.
Lissa reflected that in all fairness, she was not prohibited from opening her mouth. She was allowed to drink champagne and eat the delicacies offered by the host of the ball. She was allowed to discuss the weather, she was sure. And her mother likely wouldn’t be disappointed if she discussed fashion with a young lady or gentleman. She might even be allowed to say something ignorant about Napoleon, as long as she accompanied her words with a smile and a giggle.
But she had been ordered—under threat of being sent back home even in the midst of the Season—to keep her tongue under control while in London. Lissa didn’t think her tongue was particularly out of...

How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies? Start Here

I’m a fan of both Pride and Prejudice and Mission: Impossible, and I loved the idea of noblewomen working as undercover agents, so I wrote this Christian Regency romantic suspense series for readers just like me.

Lady Wynwood’s Spies is a multi-volume adventure filled with faith, suspense, and romance. Unlike many historical romances that stand alone, each volume continues a larger story, pulling you further into the same grand conspiracy.

Along the way, the series draws you deeper into the characters’ struggles and triumphs, giving you a richer, more immersive experience.

If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you.

Below is your complete reader guide to the books, prequels, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes extras. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this roadmap will help you find the perfect place to start.

✨ Lady Wynwood’s Spies Reader Journey Roadmap

It occurred to me that since my series is getting so long, it might be hard to know where to start. So here’s the recommended Reader Journey for my books, and I’ll keep updating the list as I add new bonus material.

At the moment, all my books are exclusive to Amazon in Kindle Unlimited. However, you should be able to read my books through your local library (ebook and paperback)—just use my Library Tip Sheet to request my books from your librarian or your library website.

Lissa and the Spy

This prequel novella doesn’t have as much suspense and action as the regular books in the series, but the humor is indicative of what I write. In the case of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, the romance is slow-burn, so each book in the series is not a stand-alone romance, but Lissa and the Spy is a stand-alone romance. If you like this book, there’s a good chance you’ll like the Lady Wynwood’s Spies series.

You can get this ebook free when you join my newsletter, or you can buy the Annotated Edition for only 99 cents on my website.

Lissa and the Spy Collection

Each collection has several bonus extras posts about the book.

The Spinster’s Christmas - A standalone romantic suspense prequel novel that occurs before The Gentleman Thief. A wounded naval officer and an impoverished spinster race to uncover a mysterious attacker at a Christmas house party.

The Gentleman Thief

The story so far in Lady Wynwood’s Spies

Here are short blurbs about each book in Lady Wynwood’s Spies. For those of you already reading the series, this will be Bonus Content, which I hope you enjoy!

An alchemist’s potion creates monstrous soldiers who could turn the tides of war. Can a team of misfit aristocrats stop the sale to Napoleon?

In a whirlwind of conspiracies and secrets, Lady Wynwood's spies navigate the perilous waters of espionage and betrayal, where every ally could be an enemy in disguise, and every heart hides a story untold.

Recovered from her harrowing marriage, Lady Wynwood's peace shatters as a nefarious secret society linked to her past emerges. She seeks the aid of Mr. Sol Drydale, an old friend with ties to a shadowy arm of the government.

They gather a circle of trusted individuals with unique skills:

  • A botanist with deadly aim with a bow and arrows
  • An unconventionally trained female medic and chemist in a field dominated by men
  • A cat burglar who also happens to be a viscount’s son
  • A spy searching for answers to the mysterious death of his brother
  • An ex-soldier haunted by regret and self-loathing
  • A human lie detector desperately protecting lies of her own
  • The most covert phantom agent working for the Crown
  • All led by a nobleman keeping dangerous secrets (who feels like he’s wrangling cats)

To protect their loved ones, they must race to stop a treasonous brotherhood, whose dark secrets could turn the tides of the war against Napoleon.
