I Spy Love
MI6 meets internet dating.
[Just out NOW ]
Ever wondered what it might be like to fall in love with a Spy?
Set against the grim backdrop of events of 2003, in a post 9/11 world with the raid of Finsbury Park Mosque and George Bush and Tony Blair catapulting the allies into the Iraq War.
Sara: is a 36-year-old divorcee writing her first book on internet dating, but her life has started to unravel in an out of control way when she falls for a British born Bangladeshi. Sam says he loves her but then periodically disappears. Is he what he says he is, in research for M16 or is he a fantasist stringing her along?
Sam: has put duty before everything in his life, until he meets Sara. Duty as a Muslim son, duty to his country and career and then he falls obsessively in love. As he is asked to delve deeper into the undercover work of the double agent, how does he handle this turbulent woman who threatens to bring them all down?
A heady mix of politics, erotic love, and the liquid love of the internet, the book succinctly asks questions which have no right or wrong answers.
How far would you go to keep a secret?

***** Star review Amazon
”Gripping story, very well written and researched. Great style, confident and elegant. Made me want to spend time in Florence. Impressive”.
Astrology and magic were an integral part of the everyday life of the people of the 16th century, in all corners of Europe. The Medici court was no exception. This novel is rife with intrigue, murder and dark murmurs at the court of Isabella de Medici who was known in her own lifetime as .the brightest star of the Medici firmament. Visions of Isabella haunt her namesake Isabel visiting present day Florence after her sudden break up with her fiancée. How are these two women linked together through the corridors of five hundred years of history? Is Isabel’s new love interest Lorenzo somehow linked to the dead Princess? Can she solve the lost riddle of Isabella’s death, to finally lay her ghost to rest?
‘’The most powerful of Victoria’s novels, where past and present fuse effortlessly and the supernatural romance works totally and beautifully. ’’
(John Richard Parker)
”The book is wonderful. It’s one of your best. You are one of my top five writers of all time”

***** Star review Amazon
”Part historical thriller, part psychological insight into the mechanism of love and relationships this is an excellent read.
With flourish, confidence and poetic style often exquisite, Victoria Mosley conjures up elaborate psychological profiles and complex situations. As in Shakespeare, her romantic leads are doomed, battling against Fate…Sex, love and money the weapons in their struggle.
Egyptian Queens & Chelsea playboys, Moses obeying blindly his God, all face the tragedy of the human condition, Love being the only ultimate & possible salvation.”

***** Star review Amazon
”Thought provoking tale of Jesus, family man and religious leader, intercepted by his time-traveller son who with the help of a Texan singer turned reluctant Angel, is attempting to re-shape the course of History and prevent the destruction of civilisation through religious wars. This is also the story of Eternal Love, Art against Tragedy, Redemption versus Fate… Victoria Mosley has the amazing ability to write about metaphysical subjects in a style full of poetry, magical lyricism and deep human understanding.”
A story that defies the recognised idea of the Jesus Christ myth and turns the premise of Christianity as we understand it on its head. It is a tale of magic and alchemy and a very different kind of love affair.
—A book that may cause as much controversy as Rushdie’s Satanic Verses—
.—- It is as erotic as it is taboo —–
