With the flames of rebellion sweeping across the colonies, a passionate fire blazes between two unlikely lovers: a rebel spy and a loyalist socialite, whose hearts are torn between their sudden attraction and familial loyalty.
In 1779 America, Benjamin Hoskin and Clara Boyd are on opposing sides of the revolution in every sense of the word—poor, rich, rebel, loyalist—yet after Benjamin’s brother is hanged for treason, their worlds collide when he assumes a mission to spy on Clara’s Tory family.
Benjamin, a bookkeeper-turned-military-spy, infiltrates the Boyd family under a false alias, hoping to charm their British connections, and gather vital information for the American side. Only, he didn’t count on the allure of the middle daughter, a vulgar, brazen young woman with quite the keen eye. While trying to fight his attraction for the sake of familial duty, he struggles to avoid capture…both from the enemy and of his heart.
Clara, a feisty socialite with loyalty towards the king, and complete devotion to her sisters, is fascinated by Benjamin’s prudish mannerisms, shyness, and overall mysterious aura. In her efforts to refine him into a worthy match for her eldest sister, she never expects to develop romantic stirrings for him herself. The fire forging between them leads to Clara discovering Benjamin’s true identity, the catalyst that leaves him injured with limited leg function. When this betrayal forces them to separate, Clara must choose between aiding her own side in the war—her family—or the soft-spoken, handsome rebel, who inexplicably helped her reclaim her self-worth.

A devastated bride. A broken-hearted groom. A marriage of convenience that changes everything.
When the Duke of Harbury swept sweet, mild-mannered Cassandra Wainwright into a scandalous waltz at Almack’s, he only wished to mask a much older heartbreak from the ton’s prying eyes.

And so, Cassie finds herself trapped between her newly awakened fury and her deepening desire as estate troubles mount, unearthing secrets that threaten their tentative bond.
