The male cover model has a uncanny resemblance to him, don't you think?The part about Enrique coming through a bedroom window is what the hero, Harry, does in this book. Enrique... er Harry, is a spy who meets the heroine, Lady Mariah, on a darkened balcony during a ball. Since he stays in the shadows, she has no clue what he looks like. Enrique can't show his face to his true love because he is a spy after all. But that still does not stop him from climbing through her bedroom window so he can see her.
Mariah, our plucky heroine welcomes Enrique a.k.a "the shadow man", with open arms, even though she still doesn't knowwhat he looks like, because he won't let her light a candle so she can see his face. She spends half of the book trying to figure out who he is. They go on like this for awhile, where they both fall in love with one another, because Mariah finds Harry's voice so dreamy, and Harry who has watched Mariah from afar, thinks she is beautiful.

I have the strange sense of deja vu in regards to what goes on between Harry and Mariah in her bedroom. (and I am not talking about those special bedroom activites we all like reading about) Does anyone else? And what is so romantic about having a man climb through your bedroom window, especially when he is the man without a face?
