They are lovers on opposite sides of a brutal war, with everything at stake

and no possibility of retreat. They can trust no one--especially not each

other.

Major Lord Peter Tremayne is the last man rebel bluestocking Kate Grey should

fall in love with, but when the handsome British viscount commandeers her

home, Kate throws caution to the wind and responds to his seduction. She is on

the verge of surrender when a spy in her own household seizes the opportunity

to steal the military dispatches Tremayne carries, ensuring his disgrace--and

implicating Kate in high treason. Painfully awakened to the risks of war, Kate

determines to put duty ahead of desire, and offers General Washington her

services as an undercover agent in the City of Brotherly Love.

Months later, having narrowly escaped court martial and hanging, Tremayne

returns to decadent, British-occupied Philadelphia with no stomach for his

current assignment--to capture the woman he believes betrayed him. Nor does he

relish the glittering entertainments being held for General Howe's idle

officers. Worse, the glamorous woman in the midst of this social whirl, the

fiancee of his own dissolute cousin, is none other than Kate Grey herself. And

so begins their dangerous dance, between passion and patriotism, between

certain death and the promise of a brave new future together.
